“January term is always more fun when you are building and programming robots.”

Taught every January term by Professors Susan Carbone and Howard Lichtman, this is an introductory course in robotics programming for students with no prior programming background. We cover the fundamentals of programming and then move on to special topics for programming robots. Students build and program robots of increasing complexity throughout the term. Some of this year's robots did such tasks as writing on paper with a Sharpie and sorting Peanut M&M's based on their colors. The final week of the course is devoted to individual projects. This is a great example of experiential learning.
