About Robotics Design
About Robotics Design
Robotic Design is a project-based course focusing on robotic applications for national robotic competitions. Students will learn soft skills including project management, professional documentation, and presentation skills. Students will also develop more robust technical skills in fabrication, sensor data implementation, computer vision, path-planning, kinematics, machine learning, ROS framework, and much more.

Matthew Hilton, Instructor of Computer Science
Matt Hilton joined NCSSM on the Morganton campus in July 2022 as an Instructor of Computer Science. He previously taught computer science and engineering in the Caldwell and Pitt county school systems. Matt has also taught computer science for NC Virtual. He earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics and a master's of education from UNC Wilmington. Matt enjoys learning how to combine computer science and engineering to solve real-world problems. He loves working with students as they explore robotics, drones, physical computing, and algorithms. One thing that he has always loved about computer science is the puzzle nature of solving tasks. He has an endless curiosity about technology and how it works. Outside of academics, Matt enjoys spending time hiking, kayaking, and playing board games with his wife and daughter.
