# Robotics Engineer

You build robots and write the code that tells them what to do.

A robot only moves when you give it clear steps and power. Coding and building let you make a machine that can help people.

## The topics behind it

- [Simple Programs: Sequences and Instructions](https://lightmysky.com/learn/computing/simple-programs-sequences-and-instructions-mt_IUvBwahibH): A robot does exactly the steps you give it, in order.
- [Programming with Loops and Variables](https://lightmysky.com/learn/computing/programming-with-loops-and-variables-mt_9x5zgShXPg): Loops let a robot repeat an action again and again.
- [Building a simple circuit](https://lightmysky.com/learn/science/building-a-simple-circuit-mt_DA7-JYRvtP): A robot needs a working circuit to switch on.
- [Iterative Design and Prototyping](https://lightmysky.com/learn/design-and-technology/iterative-design-and-prototyping-mt_fYD3KaViOZ): You build a rough robot, test it, then make it better.
- [Similarity and enlargement](https://lightmysky.com/learn/mathematics/similarity-and-enlargement-mt_y-BuQAfw4B): You give robots exact coordinates so they move to the right spot.
