About this Event
Ideas are the most powerful source of inspiration
Pioneering a one-of-a-kind robotics learning experience, we hope to give young minds the tools and confidence to bring their wildest of ideas to life, while also discovering the beauty of science and engineering.
In this 4-hour program, facilitated by two leading robotics researchers and entrepreneurs, take the first step towards building your own robots with Arduino, the World’s most versatile prototyping platform. Challenge yourself by combining your favourite sensors and other components to prototype an Arduino-based home-automation system, all through simple block-based programming!
No prior experience with coding or robotics needed! Now conducted in-person, in partnership with JustCo Singapore.
Participants also get a free Arduino Explorer Kit worth $40.
Upcoming Dates and Timings:
Sunday, 29th Aug, 2-6pm
Saturday, 4th Sept, 2-6pm
Learning Objectives

What we'll be doing
Intro to Biorobotics by Aditya and Jeremy, plus demos of their other animal-like robots.
Learn the basics of Arduino, the brain of a robot and one of the World’s most versatile prototyping platforms. All through simple block-based programming.
Challenge yourself by combining your favourite sensors and other components to prototype an Arduino-based home-automation system.
What they're saying about us
"There is much to be said about the class that my 10-year-old attended and I am still deciding which parts of it I appreciated the most!
It has been a wonderful experience not only for my boy but also for myself. The lesson was easy to follow and we really appreciate the fact that Aditya and Jeremy were able to bring so much depth and hands-on experience into the the entire class. They were incredibly patient with the little ones and made the experience very enriching and enjoyable.
This class is a cut above other that I have researched and attended. Excellent teachers with impecable credentials. Totally state-of-the-art for learning about programming and robotics. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone who is looking at deepen their knowledge and experience in robotics."

"My daughter attended Intro to Arduino & Bio-robotics class by Whyte Labs. She enjoyed from the start of the class because of the instructors Jeremy and Aditya. Both of them handled the online classes very well. Instructors gave precise information on assembling hardware of the robot and also in writing codes on her own. Both of them guided in the right path, so they were able to move on and progress successfully, step-by-step, which helps to avoid too much of problems that may occur while troubleshooting. Even while coding, their part is remarkable. I really appreciate them for their patience and availability anytime throughout. My kid had acquired more knowledge from the workshop. A whole-hearted thanks to Jeremy and Aditya."

Brought to you by a young startup
Our instructors Aditya Kapoor and Jeremy Koh are the founders of Whyte Labs, a startup developing cutting-edge, interdisciplinary robotics technology.
Deeply passionate about demystifying robotics and science, they are now out to share their years of experience, to help young tinkerers unleash their own creativity. They themselves began experimenting with bio-inspired robots back in their University days. While they faced a steep learning curve, having to teach themselves about biology, electronics, robotics and so on, it was this foundational experience that put them on the path to exploring their dreams. They went on to build one of the World’s most advanced bio-inspired soft robots, to aid in disaster-response missions. They have been based in both Singapore and Switzerland, and won multiple international awards for their work.
