Bringing Robots to Life

Children across Year 1 to Year 6 enjoyed participating in a STEMbotics workshop. By working collaboratively, the children were tasked with creating a carousel fairground ride for George (a LEGO minifigure) using 'LEGO Spike Essentials' kit and an iPad.

It was great to see the children enjoy using a new piece of kit during the workshop. This equipment allowed them to write an algorithm with icon blocks to control their robots. The children successfully used a range of computational thinking skills to bring their fairground ride to life. They were even able to add music and choose how many times their carousels spun around!

All the children actively engaged with the challenge and had fun learning something new!
