Abstract
This invention relates to a system for teaching computer programming comprising a robot farm, a plurality of remote computing devices and a server. The robot farm comprises a plurality of pods, each housing a robot and having a video camera to capture live video of the robot in the pod. The computing devices are each associated with a robot and transmit control commands to the robot to cause the robot to carry out an action and in return receive live video footage of the robot. The server communicates with the robots, the video cameras and the plurality of remote computing devices to relay control commands from the computing devices to the robots and live video from the video cameras to the computing devices. The computing devices further comprise a user interface having panes, including a programming pane for receipt of control commands, and a video feed pane for displaying video feed of the robot.
