The Constructionism Approach:
1. Deconstruction
2. Removing
3. Learning
4. Practicing

10:00 to 12:00 -> HOW TO IMPLEMENT THE THEORY FOR A ROS COURSE
The Notebook-Simulation Approach:
1. Creating the Notebooks
2. Embedding ROS Code in the Notebook
3. Embedding Real-time Graphics in the Notebook
4. Embedding Controls in the Notebook
5. Creating the Gazebo simulations
6. Connecting simulations to notebooks
7. Including projects
8. Including exams
9. Teaching Schedule
	
12:00 to 12:30 -> AN ALREADY EXISTING ONLINE SYSTEM
Experience how all that looks online
