Secondary
In this short workshop, students discover how to code Sphero robots whilst learning about engineering careers and pathways to higher education in a super engaging way!
Students will learn how to make their robots roll in different directions and speeds using the LED matrix as they go. Once they have the basics, they will code to all parts of the bespoke 'Pathways into Engineering' mat (showing all the ways that they can get into university, engineering courses, and careers including apprenticeships) and take part in a competition.
Using functions in the same way as software engineers extends your students' learning, and helps them to speedily build code to answer competition questions.
Multiple sessions can be run throughout the day and even concurrently if needed.
