About
In this introduction to coding with Python, you'll control a robot called "the Finch" to do different things like move around, draw shapes, etc.
Once you're familiar with Python, you'll be introduced to Google Teachable Machine and create a machine-learning model to control your robot to do tricks or complete tasks.
