Robotics Overview

In this article, you will learn about Skill Struck's Robotics content.

Last updated - July 14, 2025

Skill Struck's Robotics content teaches robotics concepts through the use of a physical micro:bit or the micro:bit emulator. A micro:bit is a small computer that helps teach the connection between hardware and software.

Robotics content is currently available on the Launch Pad and Voyage platforms.

Challenges

Each lesson has a set of challenges that reinforce the information taught in the textbook. Each challenge includes a custom auto-grader that must be passed in order for students to receive credit.

Playground

The playground is a programming sandbox where students can build their own micro:bit software and run it on the micro:bit. A physical micro:bit is not required.

The Micro:bit

After the "Beginnings" course, all courses are built to work with a physical micro:bit. If your students do not have a physical micro:bit, the platform has an emulator that can do everything a physical micro:bit can.
