Coding Robotics Workshop | PSU-WIT Surat Thani Stem Center
This workshop was held on 12th December 2023 at Suan Nongnooch Pattaya Thailand as part of the annual ATCM (Asian Technology Conference in Mathematics) 2023. This workshop was led and talked about by Dr. Janchia Yingprayoon.
Short Introduction: Coding and robots are paired to form robotics. Robotics is a hobby, activity, or educational field that involves building robotic devices and programming these devices by coding them to automatically perform certain actions. Coding is something we use daily without even realizing it. Algorithms run through computerized software and are used in many modern devices. Your video games, TV set, microwave, and the computer you use all function with the help of some form of microchip.
Robots, on the other hand, are autonomous machines that are constructed from various small parts and components like blocks, gears, and bolts. Older autonomous machines were able to perform certain actions through their unique construction.
Coding and robotics are paired to create devices that can perform tasks. These devices are much older than you might think. Robotics and coding have been functioning together as a unit for many years, and children need to include this in their STEM education.
