## About:
During the \*\*Basic ROS 2 Learning Week\*\* you will get the foundations of ROS 2.
- On Day 1 you will learn basic Linux concepts that are essential for ROS2 programming.
- On Day 2 you will learn basic Python3 programming skills required to create ROS2 programs.
- On Day 3 you will learn the basics of ROS2: how to create and compile packages, what are launch files, ROS2 nodes, etc.
- On Day 4 you will learn about ROS2 topics, which are the basis for any ROS2 program.
- On Day 5 you will apply everything you’ve learned to a ROS2 project based on a simulated robot.

#### The full week you will be practicing with simulated robots on the cloud. You will do free practice with The Construct cloud of robot simulations.

### Pre-requisties:

- This intro to ROS2 is for absolute beginners.
- You do not need to know ROS1 to attend.
- **You don’t need to install anything in your computer**.
- You do not need to know Linux to attend. You will learn it along the week
- You do not need to know Python or C++. You will learn Python along the week
- **YOU MUST COME WILLING TO LEARN A LOT! DON’T BE A PASSIVE LISTENER, BE AN ACTIVE PRACTITIONER!**
