# Event Details - **Event Name**: Black Kids Code(Girls) Calgary - Motion Mastery: Responsive Robotics - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 13 Dec, 2025 at 01:00 pm – Sat, 13 Dec, 2025 at 05:00 pm - **Event Description**: Join us for an exciting in-person workshop designed just for girls aged 8-17 Whether they’re brand new to coding or eager to level upAbout this EventWorkshop OverviewDecember’s Workshop focuses on movement and safety. Beginners connect motors to the hub and learn how to control speed, direction, and stopping on simple tracks, combining motors with colour sensors to trigger actions like slowing down at “warning” colours or stopping at a “red light.” They begin to see how small changes in code affect how smoothly and safely their robots move.Advanced learners build on this by adding force sensors to simulate safety features such as bump detection, collision alerts, and emergency stops when a robot encounters an obstacle. They experiment with scenarios where the robot must react quickly and reliably to keep “passengers” and surroundings safe.Both tracks emphasize real-world parallels to traffic systems, vehicle automation, and automotive safety, helping learners connect their projects to self-driving cars, factory robots, and everyday transportation systems.Beginner Track - Motor Control & Path ProgrammingBeginners learn to connect motors and program vehicles to respond to colour-coded tracks, such as stopping at red and moving faster on green.Materials RequiredLaptop or tablet with SPIKE app installedLEGO SPIKE Prime kit with hub, motors, and colour sensorColoured paper strips or tracksBeginner Track Learning OutcomesConnect Motors Correctly: Learners will configure hub ports for proper motor function.Program If Statements: Students will change robot behaviour based on track colours.Use Loops for Monitoring: Learners will apply forever loops for continuous responses.Adjust Speed and Direction: Students will fine-tune vehicle performance on tracks.Compare Traffic Systems: Learners will relate programming to real-world signals.Advanced Track - Force Sensors in Vehicle Safety & AutomationAdvanced learners explore the LEGO force sensor, building safety routines that simulate bumper systems and emergency responses.Materials RequiredLaptop or tablet with SPIKE app installedLEGO SPIKE Prime kit with hub, motors, and force sensorBarrier setup for testingAdvanced Track Learning OutcomesExplain Force Sensors: Students will describe how force sensors measure pressure.Simulate Vehicle Safety: Learners will program bump detection and auto-stop systems.Integrate Sensors with Motors: Students will create reactive safety programs.Design Escape Behaviors: Learners will code robots to reroute when trapped.Connect to Real Safety Systems: Students will link robotics learning to airbags, brakes, and crash detection.If you’re unsure who your Chapter Leader is, please contact to get connected and learn how you can support your local team.If you have any questions or concerns, please contactCalgary.ExposureWorkshop@blackkidscode.com or student.help@blackkidscode.comRegister Now, Space Is Limited! https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/f52ddaf0-c603-11f0-bc40-7d5ed18f6c3e-rimg-w1200-h600-dcc2c6d2-gmir.png - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/calgary/black-kids-codegirls-calgary-motion-mastery-responsive-robotics/100001974940939514 - **Event Categories**: workshops, kids, it - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Calgary - **state**: AB - **country**: Canada - **location**: University of Calgary - Computer Science Department - **lat**: 51.0801703 - **long**: -114.1303841 - **full address**: University of Calgary - Computer Science Department, 2500 University Drive Northwest, Calgary, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Black Kids Code(Girls) Calgary - Motion Mastery: Responsive Robotics - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/01c683a239fe0b13d07b5b2557a8a76615528e66b9a951fb0795d205bc5c2d06-rimg-w1200-h600-dcecefe9-gmir.jpg?v=1763638089 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Black Kids Code(Girls) Calgary - Motion Mastery: Responsive Robotics being held? - **A:** Black Kids Code(Girls) Calgary - Motion Mastery: Responsive Robotics takes place on Sat, 13 Dec, 2025 at 01:00 pm to Sat, 13 Dec, 2025 at 05:00 pm at University of Calgary - Computer Science Department, 2500 University Drive Northwest, Calgary, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing Black Kids Code(Girls) Calgary - Motion Mastery: Responsive Robotics? - **A:** Black Kids Code(Girls) Calgary - Motion Mastery: Responsive Robotics is organized by Black Kids Code For Girls. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
