Robotics Design and Coding for Beginners: Fusion 360 and Scratch

Have you ever wanted to design and program your own robots from the comfort of your home? Transitioning from a curious hobbyist to a confident creator requires a solid understanding of both physical design and logical programming. This course guides you through the foundational concepts of robotics design and block-based coding, helping you transition from understanding core engineering terminology to drafting 3D models and writing logic structures that bring hardware to life. What you'll learn: - Understand the fundamental principles of industrial robotics design and mechanical assembly. - Create 3D models of robotic parts and components using parametric design in Fusion 360. - Apply block-based programming logic using Scratch to control robotic behaviors and sensor inputs. - Design basic workflows for LEGO Mindstorms to understand how software interacts with physical hardware. - Practice troubleshooting design flaws and logical errors through written structural exercises. The course starts with essential terminology and design theory before walking you through step-by-step CAD modeling techniques. Next, you will transition to programming logic, exploring how to structure commands, conditions, and loops to control physical movements. This course is designed entirely for beginners with no prior experience in 3D modeling, CAD software, or programming. Start reading today and build your foundation in robotics design and programming!
