Overview
Ever dreamed of building a robot companion, or something completely out of this world? Now's your chance to get those ideas out of your head and onto the page.
Join Hazel Kwon, Design Lead at dConstruct Robotics, for a hands-on workshop exploring how Generative AI can supercharge robot design ideation.
It all starts with one big question: What problem will your robot solve? From there, the sky's the limit - practical, playful, futuristic, or all three.
Course Description & Learning Outcomes
Who should join? Designers, makers, students, and anyone curious about robotics, AI, and creative innovation are welcome. No prior experience is required.
What to bring
Please bring along your laptop or tablet. Additionally, an Apple Pencil or stylus if you have one, and you're ready to start designing.
