An interactive hands on workshop designed to demonstrate how a robot really works.

Using laptops and the brand new NXT Lego Mindstorms robots, students are asked to complete a variety tasks whilst learning about basic programming. The programming itself is based on Lego's easy understand NXT computer program, whereby students intuitively use the simple 'drag and drop' icons to form their code.

Working in pairs or threes, children are guided step by step on how to program their robot to perform precise movements as well as how to operate environmental sensors such as light and sound. The workshop concludes with students creatively programming their own robots to perform a short dance routine.

An engaging workshop that offers students a chance to learn real time programming in a fun atmosphere.
