Robotics Workshop

What tools will we use

"Robotics is the study of robot technology that makes use of disciplines such as: dynamic system modelling and analysis, mathematics, physics, biology, mechanical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, computer science and engineering, and automation technology." Direct Science website. Our robotics workshop is based on the BBC Microbit micro controller which is powerful and beginner friendly.

The Workshop

Learn how to assemble all the components to build your own robot and write code to bring your project to life. Test your creation in a number of different challenges: battling robots, speed racing, crossing difficult terrain and cleaning robots.  

"

Equipment and Software

We can provide enough robot kits for up to 18 participants at a time. The only thing you'll need to provide is 1 laptop/PC for every 2 participants.
