Quick Start - RC1

RC1 is a small-sized computer that lets you interact with the world around you.

RC1 is a physical computing device. You will learn about computers and robotics, run science experiments, design your own video game through designing and building interactive projects.

RC1 can be used in STEM curriculums or as an extracurricular activity. It can be programmed by learners to receive and send signals through sensors and output devices. The learning process is enhanced by a constructivist approach by using digital programming to manipulate material objects in real life.
