Meet & Code 2021: Challenge Boum'bot
2021-10-23 14:00 - 16:00 UTC | Toulouse, France, Toulouse, France
Notre initiative se veut une occasion pour des groupes de jeunes français belges et portugais, d’échanger et de partager leurs connaissances et compétences autour de l’électronique et la programmation.
Après une première phase de rencontre visant à dynamiser les participants autour d’une passion commune, chaque équipe s’initie à la programmation d’un boum’bot: un robot open source basé sur la technologie d’Arduino et équipé de capteurs et d’actionneurs.
Suivant des plans mises à disposition par les organisateurs, les jeunes expérimentent la construction d’un boum’bot de A à Z, puis sa programmation dans le but de compléter de missions précises, par exemple: créer un boum’bot capable d’éviter des obstacles, programmer un bom’bot qui suit une ligne noire tracée au sol, ou encore laisser libre cours à son imagination et créer des programmes inédits et originaux.
A travers ces ateliers maker nous souhaitons transmettre à nos jeunes la valeur du do-it-yourself, ainsi qu’un goût pour la diversité et la découverte culturelle, notamment au travers des échanges qui se tiendront tout au long de la période de mise en œuvre l’initiative au sein des trois pays impliqués.
