+# Welcome to the WPI Global STEM Education Initiative: Introduction to Robotics with ROSMO Robots
 
-# Objectives
- -  Get at strong foundation in open-source electronics and prototyping
- -  Gain intuition on mechanical prototyping and design with dc brush motors, servo motors 
- -  Apply basic machine learning and computer vision to a small project
+This class is designed for instructors to learn the basics of robotics and programming using **ROSMO Robots**. You will be using **MicroBlocks**, a simple and powerful visual programming language, as an introduction to coding. For those who wish to advance, you can transition from MicroBlocks to Python as you become more comfortable programming the robots.
 
+The course consists of several hands-on modules, beginning with an **Introduction to Robotics**. These modules cover topics like:  
+- **Driving** the robot  
+- Using **sensors**  
+- Operating the **manipulator (robot arm)**  
 
-# 1) Microblocks
+## Final Project: Delivery Robot Challenge  
+The course concludes with an exciting **final project** that brings together everything you have learned in the previous modules. This **Delivery Robot Challenge** allows students to program their robot to complete a series of tasks. To add a competitive element, an optional scoring rubric is provided to evaluate the runs completed by students.
