The January Sphero Robotics workshop immerses students in the foundations of command-and-control robotics, where robots are programmed to sense their surroundings, make decisions, and respond intelligently. Using Sphero robots and block-based coding, learners explore how real-world robotic systems operate through the integration of sensors, logic, and data tracking.
Rather than focusing solely on movement, this workshop emphasizes intelligent behavior and autonomy. Students program robots to react to collisions, maintain direction using gyroscopes, track distance and time, and adapt to different environments. Through structured challenges and team-based problem solving, learners gain a practical understanding of how robotics is used in areas such as automation, gaming, fitness technology, logistics, and emergency response.
Materials Required
Each workshop is fully hands-on and requires the following materials to support learning and experimentation:
Sphero robots (Bolt, RVR, or compatible models) for movement, sensing, and interaction
Tablets or laptops with Sphero coding applications installed
Charging cables and power banks to ensure uninterrupted activity
Masking tape or cardboard for building mazes and defining boundaries
Colored markers or floor indicators for sequence-based missions
Lightweight balls (ping-pong or foam) for Sphero Soccer challenges
Open floor space or large tables for safe testing and demonstrations
All activities are designed to be flexible and adaptable to different room sizes and student experience levels.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the workshop, students will demonstrate growth across multiple skill areas:
Robotics & Sensors: Use collision detection, gyroscope, and accelerometer data to guide robot behavior
Coding & Logic: Apply loops, conditionals, sequencing, and event-based logic to solve challenges
Data & Variables: Create and update variables to track scores, laps, time, distance, and performance metrics
Problem-Solving: Test, debug, and iterate on programs to improve accuracy and efficiency
Collaboration & Communication: Work in teams, share roles, and clearly explain how their robot works to others
Students leave the workshop with increased confidence in coding and a clearer understanding of how software controls physical systems.
Workshop Activities & Projects
The workshop combines guided mini-challenges with project-based learning to reinforce concepts:
Maze Navigator: Program robots to avoid obstacles and reach a goal autonomously using sensor feedback
Color-Coded Missions: Navigate through stations in a defined sequence, triggering actions with LEDs and logic
Sphero Soccer: Design game mechanics using collision detection, scoring variables, and rule constraints
Sphero Fitness Tracker: Track laps, distance, time, and milestones using variables and feedback patterns
Real-World Simulations: Model delivery routes and search-and-rescue missions using structured planning and loops
These activities encourage creativity, strategic thinking, and teamwork while helping students connect robotics concepts to real-world applications.

Each show features a recurring segment that tackles topics in the Black community—from colorism and conspiracy theories to whether Black history is American history, and even “what happened to Kanye West.” The show opens with stand-up, then blends sketch comedy, improv, more stand-up, and character bits throughout, all building toward a concluding comedy segment that ties everything together.

I provide neuropsychological evaluations (testing) to adults with cognitive concerns, such as difficulty with memory, attention, multitasking, "slowing down," or changes in language or personality. I investigate neurological and/or psychiatric factors that may contribute to someone's condition. These evaluations allow for more precise diagnoses and prognoses (what to expect in the future). I provide services in English or Persian (Farsi), and I am well-experienced in working with professional translators for assessment in other languages (for example, Spanish or Cantonese).
Neuropsychological evaluations most often help guide the course of treatments. With the patient's consent, I provide documentation and consultation with their regular doctors - such as neurologists, primary care and mental health providers - to discuss potential medication changes, talk therapies, surgical options, self-care strategies, and more.
I find that most important is the patient's understanding of their health - both strengths and weaknesses. After the evaluation, I set time to meet with patients and sometimes their loved ones to provide the information they need to best manage their health. With a culturally appropriate approach, I invite diverse clients to contact me for more information.
(Los Angeles) The Chinese Culture Development Center (CCDC), founded in 1995, is an influential cultural institution based in the Western U.S. with its business ranging from live performances, lectures, to competitions, and community programs. In 2021, SILU INC took over the center’s operations and charted new business in intercultural communication, cultural program planning, entertainment management, social media marketing, and publication.
CCDC is committed to producing and planning programs that serve cultural diversities in different communities, presenting project lineup, such as “Dancing LA,” “Chinese Cultural and Creative Competition,”, “East Meet West” concerts, etc. In 2024, CCDC launched its most recent cultural & culinary brand, Taste China, which focuses on Chinese food and culture experience in the U.S and serves high-end costumers in the country and beyond. In the Exhibition business, CCDC has accumulated extensive resources and experience through cooperation with domestical and international professional photographer. It created notable projects such as the Los Angeles Chinese Photographic Festival, U.S.-China News Photo Exhibition, and AAPI: Living Heritages. Other highlight exhibitions include the Nihao China, Welcome to Guangdong, and Taste China: A Journey with World-Class Photographers, which received applause by the community and media friends.
CCDC operates different social media accounts across platforms such as WeChat, Weibo, RedNote, Instagram, Facebook, podcasts, and newsletters. Our contents are tailored to each platform’s user base, creating an integrated media ecosystem that emphasizes professionalism, accuracy, authority, and global communication of Chinese language contents.
Our publications, Los Angeles Photographic Festival Photo Album, Through the Lens: An Asian American Experience in 2021, and Taste China: A Journey with World-Class Photographers 2024, are collected by local colleges and libraries. Streamlining cultural, educational, and commercial resources, CCDC launched its monthly culture & lifestyle magazine, Meihua, in 2023, aiming to become the leading Chinese-language publication in the Western U.S. and beyond with its rich contents, high-quality design, and state-of-art publication technology.
Focusing on innovative creation and professional planning, CCDC is committed to constructing a diverse and inclusive platform to serve and support cultural exchange and community building. We believe the multi-dimensional communication between Chinese cultures and other heritages would tremendously benefit the cultural diversity and overall market forces in the country.
