Robots that talkto the internet.

ESP32, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cameras and the cloud. The projects here aren't classroom exercises. They're the same systems running smart homes and smart cities.

In Session 1, your teen programs a dual-core microcontroller with built-in Wi-Fi, the chip inside millions of real IoT devices.

What lands in their hands

Not worksheets. These.

Every NEbots session ends with something working. These are the builds families talk about.

S12

A robot car driven from their phone

Two-wheel drive over Bluetooth/Wi-Fi. Differential steering, written by them.

S16

WhatsApp alerts from a machine

A sensor trips, their phone buzzes. Real cloud APIs, real HTTP, real JSON.

S17

Smart irrigation system

Soil sensing + auto pump + mobile dashboard. Agri-tech the North East actually needs.

S20

A Wi-Fi security camera

ESP32-CAM streaming live video to any browser. Then: a smart video doorbell.

S21

Cloud AI vision

Face detection and helmet detection through a cloud vision service, with a serious talk about bias and responsible AI.

The 24-session trail

From first spark to showcase day

We publish the shape of the journey here. The full session-by-session syllabus is shared at your free demo class.

By the end of this phase: They can instrument the physical world and reason about sensor accuracy. Engineering, not tinkering.

S12Wireless robot car: driven from a phone
S13Obstacle avoidance with a servo-scanned sensor
S14RFID access control: the tech behind key cards
Revealed in class

By the end of this phase: A working robot and a working access-control system. Both from scratch.

S15Host a web server on the chip: control an LED from any browser
S16WhatsApp / Telegram alerts via cloud APIs
S17IoT smart irrigation: sense, decide, act, report

Parents ask us

Fair questions, straight answers

How is this different from a coding class?

Coding classes end at the screen. Here the code drives cameras, pumps, motors and radios, and the debugging spans hardware, software and network at once. That's systems engineering, and it's what separates a college applicant from a hobbyist.

Does my teen need RoboSaplings first?

Helpful, not required. Ages 14-18 with any coding exposure can start here. The first phase rebuilds fundamentals on the ESP32 at speed.

Can I see the full syllabus?

Yes. The complete 24-session plan with components and outcomes is shared at your free demo class.

What pairs with this course?

CodeCanopy. RoboRoots builds the hardware mind; CodeCanopy builds the software depth: Python, data, ML and AI agents.

Then what?

Next: CodeCanopy

Python from first print() to AI agents. The software half of a full-stack builder. Ages 14+.
