The Background Story

This cohort deals with intermidate and advanced concepts around Robotics and IoT. During the one-month online program, students are introduced to various concepts covering a wide spectrum of Robotics and IoT theories.

The tech boot camp also allows participants to focus on building their own projects and learning how to use the tools and resources they have learned during the cohort. Moreover, they are able to get a deeper understanding of the fundamentals of robotics and IoT and build a project that is inrealiable to the problems they are trying to solve locally. Although this cohort is designed to be fully online via Google Meet, it is very interesting to see how the participants engaged with the material as well as the instructor and created a fun and engaging experience for everyone. The program was also very interactive and the students were able to ask and answer questions and get help from the instructor.

This course is Intended to give you a basic understanding of technology Robotics and IoT. The Information will help you visualize the opportunities in regards to your carrier. In addition to that, the course is intended to help you understand the fundamentals to build a Mechatronics project in under 4 weeks. The instructor will walk you through all the shortcuts, best practices, and resource platforms that will enable you to build a Robotic system connected to the internet. (Internet of robotic things - IoRT). But most importantly, this course is intended to inspire you to create amazing technologies. At the end of the program, and after presenting their final projects, top projects were chosen and rewarded.
The one-month cohort’s schedule is 8 days a month, 2 days a week, 2 hours a day for the e-lecture with follow-up 2 days for Office Hours for 1 hour after each day.

  • Can I only rely on the recorded e-lectures, material books, and resources?
    We recommend attending all the e-sessions and office hours for a better understanding of the course. Additionally, you are not allowed to miss 2 classes in a row, so your reliability only on such requirements is not suggested
  • Is working in groups allowed?
    As long as your partner(s) is part of the tech camp, you can work in groups, which we suggest and recommend
  • What is/are the final project’s scopes?
    The more addition of the courses’ supplementary materials and resources, the more your chances to win. Moreover, you can go beyond the given material as long as you can implement it within the course’s schedule
  • What are the judging criteria? How will my project be evaluated?
    Feasibility | Functional Requirement | Material Application | Technical Methodology | UI/UX | Localization & Usability
  • Who are the judges?
    The judges are being selected from within both the local and global Google Developer Groups’ network.
  • What are the prizes? How can I obtain my prize if I am to be a top selected project?
    The prizes are selected based on the best item and hand-on-availability to the participant. You can contact us for more detailed information about how and when to receive your prize(s).
