This webpage was created to document all that I learnt and did as part of the AUS Computing Camp in Spring of 2018.
Thank you to Mr. Hammam Orabi and Mr. Ahmad Al Nabulsi who were the best instructors ever :)

- built basic circuits using a breadboard, resistors, LED bulbs and sensors.
Day 2 : Programming
- discussed and participated in excercises of writing algorithms and flowcharting
- wrote C++ programs using conditional and iteration statements
- those who knew more coding were given additional challenges
Day 3 : Web & App Development
- coded webpages using HTML (like the one you are viewing now :))
- discussed the importance of agreeing on client requiremnts before building apps
- designed interfaces and built android games
Day 4 : Robotics
- built robots using LEGO
- attached various sensors to the robot and then worked on software
- to make it do various actions such as following a certain line, identifying colors, manouvering a maze etc
- the next day, we used all the information we learnt and created our own robots
- our robots then competed with each other in a sumo wrestling match
