Workshop
Students are introduced to modern uses of robotics and must then use a Sphero robot to rescue an injured person in a disaster zone!
Young people are introduced to modern uses of robotics before they are tasked with using a Sphero robot to rescue a person who has been injured in a disaster zone.
They must code their Sphero to avoid the obstacles and navigate around the hazards to the casualty, before sounding the alarm and rushing back to alert rescuers as quickly as possible!
