WORKSHOP
Sequencing Robots in Motion
Black Boys Code invites boys aged 8–17 to a hands-on LEGO Robotics workshop using LEGO SPIKE Prime. Students will build on their coding and robotics skills, moving from simple sequences to loops, variables, measurements, and real robot movement. Whether returning from last month or joining for the first time, no previous robotics experience or equipment is needed.

About this workshop
Continue the technology year with an exciting hands-on LEGO Robotics experience! Students will build on their coding and robotics skills using LEGO SPIKE Prime, moving from simple sequences to loops, variables, measurements, and real robot movement.
Beginners will discover how loops make coding more efficient as they build a two-motor driving robot, program it to move and turn, and challenge themselves to drive around a square. Advanced learners will take their engineering and Python skills further by working with variables, data types, wheel circumference, gear ratios, and drivetrain calibration to make their robots move accurately over measured distances.
Students will also explore how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can assist with coding. Rather than simply accepting AI-generated answers, they will test, review, and evaluate AI-generated code to identify mistakes and determine whether it actually works.
Whether returning from last month or joining the program for the first time, students will have the opportunity to code, build, predict, test, debug, measure, and improve their robotic creations.
Materials Provided FREE
All materials required for the workshop will be provided free of charge by our organization, including:
- iPads with the LEGO SPIKE app installed.
- LEGO SPIKE Prime kits with hubs, motors, sensors, gears, and wheels.
- Student workbooks and coding worksheets.
- Moodle accounts for submitting assignments, completing assessments, and tracking student progress.
No equipment or previous robotics experience is required.
Students simply need to come ready to build, code, loop, calculate, test, debug, and bring their robots to life!
For further questions you may have on the day of the workshop, please reach out to student.help@blackboyscode.com
Beginners will discover why programmers use loops instead of repeating the same commands. They’ll build a two-motor driving robot, program it to move and turn, find the perfect quarter turn through experimentation, and take on the challenge of driving their robot around a square.
Advanced learners will combine real Python programming with engineering calculations. Working with variables, integers, floats, and strings, they’ll calculate wheel circumference and gear ratios, then build and calibrate a drivetrain that travels measured distances accurately. Along the way, they’ll use print statements to check their math and troubleshoot coding errors.
