This program will teach high school students the basics of programming in a fun and interactive environment to encourage them to convert any idea into a real world application and serve their community using trendy technologies. During the program, the students will be trained on using many development IDEs and will be learning many languages to build games and robotic programs as well as XR applications. It’s also designed to give a realistic overview of a Software Engineer student’s life. Moreover, the students get introduced to many discussions during the course time to help sharpen their knowledge into the technology sector. To achieve the success factors expected of this program, the students will be encouraged to participate in many fun in-class activities to compete and learn necessary teamwork skills.

The playful robotics aspect of the RoboGames Academy offers an immersive and interactive experience with LEGO robotics, where participants delve into the creative and playful side of robotics. Through hands-on activities and engaging challenges, students explore the fundamentals of robotics in a dynamic and enjoyable environment while also igniting their imaginative and problem-solving skills.
