The primary purpose of this contest is to empower children to turn their ideas into tangible creations by utilizing the skills they have learned, such as programming and electronics.

What is the Tamiya Robot School's Robotics Programming Course?

The Tamiya Robot School’s Robotics Programming Course is structured as a two-year progressive program. During the first year, students learn foundational programming concepts through interactive robot-building activities, making the learning process engaging and enjoyable. In their second year, students delve into more advanced programming challenges that incorporate electronics and sensor control, allowing them to experience the practical applications of technology firsthand.
