Workshop
Challenge your Y7-Y13 students with real-world robotics in this advanced workshop.
Challenge your students with real-world robotics and text-based coding in this advanced workshop. Designed for Years 7–13 (S1–S6), students build and program LEGO robots using Python, applying computing and engineering principles to solve practical problems.
What students will do:
Projects include coding a humanoid quizzing robot or a vehicle robot, with options to extend into more complex engineering tasks. Ideal for students ready to move beyond block coding and deepen their understanding of programming.
Curriculum links:
Mapped to KS3–KS5 Computing, Design Technology, and Science. Supports GCSE and A-Level objectives, especially in programmable components and Python programming.
