Our Range of Workshops
Introduction to Robotics
In this hands-on workshop, your puils will work as engineers to assemble their own LEGO robot, and then work together to build sequences of code to program their robot to complete challenges.
These workshops follow a learning through play model and are designed to create positive experiences using technology to foster a passion for STEM.
Intermediate Robotics
Here pupils will investigate more fundamental coding conceptst such as loops and conditionals as they build and program a robot to complete more complex challenges.
This workshop is ideal for pupils who have already attended our introduction to robotics workshops.
Creative Coding
In this workshop, pupils will work with the irobot root robots, a robot that can be used to create art! Pupils will investigate building sequences of code to control their robot as they move through a series of challenges.
Here pupils will be creating 2d shapes and patterns, using angles, measuring and estimation.
