Are you interested in learning robotics with Python? Can physical electronics-based projects grow a child's interest in coding? This week on the show, we speak with author Marwan Alsabbagh about his book "Build Your Own Robot - Using Python, CRICKIT, and Raspberry Pi."
👉 Links from the show:
Marwan discusses his two conferences talks about building electronics projects with his children. He provides advice on equipment and techniques to make learning Python engaging.
We explore his robotics project and the literal balancing act of designing a robot around the Raspberry Pi. Marwan shares his successes and disappointments while working to incorporate computer vision, joystick controls, and voice commands.
