Target Audience
High Schools
Students arriving in high school with a prior background in technology and an interest in engineering will love this project for its in-depth education and hands-on prototyping aspects.
Unlike other educational projects, microver.ch is designed to teach you:
FDM 3D printing
Electronic soldering
Printed circuit board design
Embedded code for Arduino
Python code for Raspberry Pi
Mobile robotics and navigation
These are all real-world technology skills that any engineer will need to know how to apply throughout their career, hence learning this before arriving to university will be a huge jump start for any student keen about engineering.
It is recommended (but not mandatory) to have prior experience in other educational-technology projects such as Lego Mindstorms or Vex Robotics as these projects help to build the stepping stones and mental models that microver.ch builds upon and extends considerabily.
