# Event Details - **Event Name**: Black Boys Code Hamilton - Building Smart, Responsive Robots - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 28 Feb, 2026 at 11:00 am – Sat, 28 Feb, 2026 at 03:00 pm - **Event Description**: Join us for an exciting workshop designed just for boys aged 8-17! Whether they’re brand new to coding or eager to level up their skills.About this EventWorkshop OverviewFebruary Workshop emphasizes integrated logic and autonomy. Beginners combine the hub, motors, and sensors with if/else and forever loops to create robots that continuously respond to their surroundings, changing direction, speed, or behavior based on what their sensors “see.” This helps them understand how simple rules can create dynamic, lifelike robot actions.Advanced learners go further by implementing distance sensors to design robots that detect, slow down for, or avoid obstacles, much like autonomous vehicles navigating roads or robots moving safely in warehouses. They explore how timing, sensor placement, and decision logic all affect performance.Both tracks stress the role of smart systems in modern automation and highlight how robotics is reshaping transportation, manufacturing, and everyday life. Learners are encouraged to think critically about the benefits, challenges, and societal impact of increasingly autonomous technologies.Beginner Track: Integrating Hub, Colour Sensors, and MotorsBeginners build robots that use multiple devices in one program, applying loops to monitor and respond to sensor input.Materials RequiredLaptop or tablet with SPIKE app installedLEGO SPIKE Prime kit with hub, motors, and colour sensorColoured tracksBeginner Track Learning OutcomesIntegrate Multiple DevicesLearners will connect hub, motors, and sensors in one program.Apply Conditional LogicStudents will program color-based decision-making.Use Loops EffectivelyLearners will monitor sensor input continuously.Control Motion ParametersStudents will adjust speed and turning based on inputs.Relate to AutomationLearners will compare robotics to smart machines.Advanced Track: Distance Sensors & Autonomous Vehicle ControlAdvanced learners use distance sensors to program vehicles that avoid obstacles and navigate independently.Materials RequiredLaptop or tablet with SPIKE app installedLEGO SPIKE Prime kit with hub, motors, and distance sensorObstacle course materialsAdvanced Track Learning OutcomesExplain Distance SensorsStudents will describe ultrasonic measurement principles.Code Obstacle AvoidanceLearners will program robots to stop, reverse, or reroute.Apply Conditional LogicStudents will use distance thresholds in if/then logic.Develop Pathfinding RoutinesLearners will build autonomous navigation programs.Relate to Self-Driving TechStudents will connect robotics to autonomous cars and drones.For further questions you may have on the day of the workshop, please reach out to Hamilton.ExposureWorkshop@blackboyscode.comOR student.help@blackboyscode.comRegister Now, Space Is Limited! https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/94ba8050-043e-11f1-888a-7935f87146a8-rimg-w1200-h607-dc777c79-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/hamilton/black-boys-code-hamilton-building-smart-responsive-robots/100001982199165062 - **Event Categories**: Workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 2 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fblack-boys-code-hamilton-building-smart-responsive-robots-tickets-1982199165062 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Hamilton - **state**: ON - **country**: Canada - **location**: John Hodgins Engineering Building - **lat**: 43.2608059 - **long**: -79.920407 - **full address**: John Hodgins Engineering Building, 1280 Main Street West, Hamilton, Canada ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Black Boys Code (https://allevents.in/org/black-boys-code/22583765) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/adf3c97da45f4d81081c7fb0cf7ac7598baf86e11b39a8021eac30fe5a399049-rimg-w1200-h600-dc737576-gmir.jpg?v=1770480232 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://dyn-image.allevents.in/generate-image?v=4&title=Black+Boys+Code+Hamilton+-+Building+Smart%2C+Responsive+Robots&date=28+Feb ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Sat, 28 Feb, 2026 at 11:00 am - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** John Hodgins Engineering Building, 1280 Main Street West, Hamilton, Canada - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 0 up to 0 CAD - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Black Boys Code - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** Workshops - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Black Boys Code Hamilton - Building Smart, Responsive Robots ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Black Boys Code Hamilton - Building Smart, Responsive Robots", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/adf3c97da45f4d81081c7fb0cf7ac7598baf86e11b39a8021eac30fe5a399049-rimg-w1200-h600-dc737576-gmir.jpg?v=1770480232", "startDate": "2026-02-28", "endDate": "2026-02-28", "url": "https://allevents.in/hamilton/black-boys-code-hamilton-building-smart-responsive-robots/100001982199165062", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "John Hodgins Engineering Building", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "1280 Main Street West", "postalCode": "L8S 4L8", "addressLocality": "Hamilton", "addressRegion": "ON", "addressCountry": "CA" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "43.2608059", "longitude": "-79.920407" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Join us for an exciting workshop designed just for boys aged 8-17!
