As you review, what do you think other's reaction will be to the experience?
I think the reactions are going to be very positive and lean towards a lot of excitement from the students to dedicate themselves to the program.
On my opinion some minor specific sentences, like:
The world of Robotics is vast and much more than just Wall-e, RoboCop and R2D2, (although we love them too !) but real world applications like self driving cars , UAVs, farming bots, surgical robots and many many more.
are maybe to obvious for the intended scope of freshmen college students or even senior high school students willing to take part on a program like this. Although I would definitely go on the way of emphasizing and describing more specifically some of the robotic applications.
For other potential enrollees - are the challenges implemented in a way that makes the context and goals easy to understand and thus rather straightforward to complete ?(assume they have a some background knowledge,)
The challenges and the content itself are well structured and on an easy to understand and didactic manner. They also are aligned to the main pillars of the Robotics ND: programming, maths, physics(mechanics,...), computer vision(color space, etc),planning.
If possible, I would even break more down the quizzes, as e.g:
Although on Challenge 3: T2 there is already a BGR2HSV conversion that you could maybe split a little bit the topics before(differences between HSV and BGR) before doing directly the conversion on the python code.
Is it clear that we're having a bit of fun with the storyline ?
Pretty clear.
And that very hands-on practical experiences are still to come when the classroom opens.
That is also clear.
Do you think it's ok for others to struggle a bit with the quizzes if it's a very real snapshot of the ND's level of intensity?
I think it is not only ok, but also necessary to struggle with the quizzes to get familiar with the intensity of such a program.
