This repo is the home of Bots for Kids, an exploratory project overseen by Code For Life. Here we provide a space for contributors to ideate and innovate on how we can get kids of various ages interested in mechanical and software engineering.

CFL believes using block-based learning is a fun and approachable way to introduce complex topics to kids. With this in mind, CFL is currently envisioning using:

1. blockly, Google's block-based programming language, to write custom algorithms for bots.

2. LEGO SPIKE, LEGO's robot-building kit, to build a variety of bots.

3. Raspberry Pi Build HAT, Raspberry Pi's computer that's compatible with LEGO's sensors and motors, to be a bot's programmable brain.

While CFL envisions the above, these are not hard requirements and we're open to contributors' differing ideas. All that matters is we achieve our goal of getting kids excited about STEM. Share your ideas and CFL will do everything in our power to empower your creativity!
