Students will participate in a challenge that involves some construction and programming of robots to complete tasks around a Lego challenge map. This program covers key areas in Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM).
Students will exercise problem-solving and team-working skills whilst designing, building and programming Lego robots. The robots will perform specific tasks using motors and sensors to solve problems on the Lego challenge map.
They will engage in hands-on STEM education. Students will experiment with speed, distance and measurement, whilst developing critical thinking skills and the ability to predict and draw conclusions.
