Sequencing Robots in Motion

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!
