Rapid Prototyping in SPOT Makerspace

This lecture by the instructor focuses on a course where computer science students learn to work in teams on projects involving physical artifacts and software development, such as robots with sensors and actuators. The course consists of tutorial, individual project, and team project phases, aiming to equip students with practical skills in microcontroller programming, electronics, 3D printing, and soldering. Students design and build projects, receiving feedback and guidance throughout the process, culminating in a final presentation showcasing their creations. The course, made possible by EPFL's makerspace, emphasizes hands-on learning and project-based assessment.
