How Our Masterclass Changed Lives
Student Testimonials
I have finished the Robotics Developer Masterclass by The Construct. It was a complex and long-term robotics course, with many challenging checkpoints on the way, ending with an advanced and practical project. It took several months, but it was worth that effort. It was a very fascinating journey. I have learned a lot, and now I can use this in many incoming amazing and unique robotics projects.
Robert Gruberski
2023 Batch 3 Student
My six-month journey with The Construct was incredible! From designing robot URDFs to implementing advanced AI concepts in industrial robots, every moment was filled with growth and innovation. The program was a thrilling challenge, pushing me to master state-of-the-art algorithms and advanced concepts while exploring Nav2 Stack, MoveIt2, SLAM, BTs, PointClouds, LIDARs, Perception, Docker, Jenkins, and more. Presenting my final project on YouTube Live was nerve-wracking but exhilarating, proving I can thrive under pressure. I’m deeply grateful to The Construct team, for their unwavering support and guidance.

The Masterclass is great! The way that The Construct has adapted and condensed a large amount of information to make it easier for students is incredible work. I really enjoyed the Labs and simulated robot experience.
Romulo Perez
2023 Batch 3 Student
I was already working with robots and using ROS, but I struggled to learn on my own. Realizing I needed a structured course to accelerate my learning, I joined the masterclass. This experience has been invaluable, covering not only robot programming but also math, control, theory, GitHub, CI, and robotics development. I’m already applying what I’ve learned to my university research projects. This class exceeded my expectations and has been incredibly challenging and rewarding.
