Background
The XRP(Experiential Robotics Platform) is an educational project that uses simple 3D printed robots and an accompanying curriculum to teach high school students the basic of programming through robotics. It is currently in use in classrooms across the US and the world.
During the summer of 2023, I worked on the curriculum of the XRP project, writing lessons in basic programming and robot control for students to learn.Â
My biggest contribution was writing software examples that demonstrated a proven way to solve a problem or accomplish a task with the robot. I wrote control programs for various tasks and thoroughly tested them to tune values and ensure that the code would work for any reader's robot.
