Are you a robotic enthusiast, a professional looking to pivot careers to robotic tech, or a high schooler interested in STEM career preparation?

iNugGits Academy’s Robotics Academy Boot Camp offers hands-on weekend robotics courses designed to demystify + streamline the programming process.

Enrollees of all ages will learn to apply principles of math + kinematics to program Otto — an open-sourced DIY robot — using C++ programming language and the book “Robot Kinematics Demystified” by Laurnetta Sanks.

This proprietary manual features a patent-pending simplification of Denavit-Hartenberg’s method, a fundamental robotics technique for modeling joints.

iNugGits Academy addresses the need to equip the next generation of workers with practical STEM skills, utilizing math to keep up with an increasingly technical global workforce.

Reserve your spot for the next Robotics Boot Camp, which consists of eight in-person sessions held monthly on weekends at Catapult Lakeland.
