Go Build! Lego Robotics
Thu, Sep 12, 2024 5:00 PM
We will a series of engaging and educational Lego Robotics Events designed to inspire and challenge aspiring minds. These events offer a unique platform for young people to delve into the world of robotics, engineering, and problem-solving while having a blast.
Young people will engage in collaborative challenges, where they'll design, build, and program their robots using Lego Spike kits. This unique fusion of creativity and engineering not only teaches the fundamentals of robotics and coding but also nurtures teamwork, problem-solving, and critical thinking.
Basic Robotics Concepts: Participants are introduced to fundamental robotics concepts such as sensors, motors, and programming logic.
Programming Skills: Participants learn how to use block-based programming languages to control their robots. They learn about loops, conditional statements, variables, and functions to create sequences of actions for their robots.
Problem-Solving: Through various challenges and tasks, participants develop their problem-solving skills as they figure out how to program their robots to accomplish specific objectives.
Collaboration and Creativity: The event encourages participants to work in teams, fostering collaboration and creativity as they brainstorm solutions and design their robots.
Methods and Resources:
Hands-On Activities: Participants engage in hands-on activities where they build and program robots using the LEGO SPIKE kit.
Guided Tutorials and demonstrations: Facilitators will guide participants through the programming and building of the Lego Spike models.
Interactive Discussions: Q&A sessions and group discussions allow participants to ask questions, share their insights, and learn from each other's experiences.
Feedback and Iteration: Participants are encouraged to test, observe, and refine their robots' behaviors, promoting a cycle of iterative problem-solving and improvement.
Goal
The goal is to create an engaging experience that encourages participants to explore robotics and STEM concepts in a hands-and creative way.
Targeted Group: Foroige Linkpoint UBU. 20 young people from a disadvantaged background will participate in a 2 hour workshop. The group will be split into 2 sessions
