Intermediate/Advanced STEMbotics: Robotics & Coding Workshop (UK2-KS4)

Our Intermediate / Advanced robotics and coding workshops provide students with opportunities to code, design, engineer and build their own robots, in both simple and complex forms.

We can set challenges that are tailored to your school’s needs and these workshops have curriculum links to Computing, Design Technology, Engineering and Science.

Our sessions are adapted according to the age and experience of students to ensure all learners have a great time building and coding their robots to compete with their peers.

For younger students we use entry-level block coding, progressing to Scratch-style programming blocks as well as Python coding in KS3-KS5.

Students can incorporate a range of motors, touch sensors, colour sensors, ultrasonic sensors and more into their designs to build robots that are capable of taking on a range of briefs.

We also have bespoke challenge floor mats for students to test their coding and problem-solving skills.

Recommended Format:

• 2 sessions per day (approx 2-2.5hrs each).

• Up to 40 students/session working in pairs or up to 60 students/session working in threes.

• A longer session allows students greater ability to design and engineer their own robots, including making use of a range of sensors.

• Hall required for coding challenge floor mats. Access to a screen/projector required for modelling.

Taster Experience Format:

• 3 sessions per day (approx 90 mins each).

• Up to 60 students/session working in threes.

• Students build a simple vehicle robot from instructions and code it around our challenge mats. Opportunity to modify the robot and implement sensors.

• Hall required for coding challenge floor mats. Access to a screen/projector required for modelling.

Cost: £597/day ex VAT
