[AI Week] Build Your First Robot: Hands-On Robotics Workshop

​Most people who are interested in robotics never actually build a robot.

​They watch a few videos, maybe buy some parts, open a tutorial, get attacked by wiring diagrams, and quietly decide that maybe robots can wait until next year.

​This workshop is the antidote to that.

​In one hands-on session, you will build a working WiFi-controlled rover from scratch. The kit is provided, the chassis is ready, the wiring guide is on the table, and you will have direct support throughout the build.

​This is not a sit-back-and-nod workshop. You will assemble the rover, wire the electronics, flash the firmware, test it, troubleshoot it when something inevitably behaves like a tiny stubborn shopping trolley, and then drive it around.

​No prior hardware or coding experience required. This is for curious beginners, students, developers, designers, founders, and anyone who has always wanted to build a robot but wanted someone in the room to say, “yes, that wire goes there.”

​You will work with an ESP32-based rover kit, including chassis, motors, motor driver, ultrasonic sensor, and wiring components. By the end of the workshop, you will have a working rover that you built yourself and can take home.

​You will leave with:

​A working WiFi-controlled rover

​Practical experience with hardware assembly, wiring, firmware, testing, and troubleshooting

​Wiring diagrams and pre-written firmware so you can keep building after the session

​A much better understanding of how embedded systems and robotics actually work

​Spots are intentionally limited so everyone gets real support. This is for people who are ready to spend the afternoon actually building something, not politely watching someone else build something.
