This activity is for students in Years 3-8 with differentiated topics.  Student will work in pairs, one class at a time, to code a BBC microbit to control Invent Engineer robot vehicles with an iPad. 

• Code the vehicle to go forward, reverse and turn using Blocks “drag and drop” software to create a working model;
• Code the LED screen to display images and messages;
• Code the vehicle to use sensors to detect obstructions and alter course;
• Code the vehicle to complete a course.

In addition transferable skills used by students on the day are:

• Working positively on new challenges;
• Generating ideas to improve something; 
• Exploring problems by investigating the pros and cons of different solutions;
• Contributing to group decision making;
  
• Keep trying when something goes wrong and encourage others to keep trying too.

Our workshops are bespoke to you and adaptable to suit your timetable, and most can be delivered in 60 to 100 minutes. This means that we can cater for the number of classes in each year group and provide back-to-back sessions across the school day, delivering the workshop to different class groups, with two sessions before lunch and one after.

We have to make a charge to cover our staff and materials costs, but our pricing is structured to enable this flexibility.
