The Neon quality mark shows this activity has been reviewed and meets Neon's quality standards.
Overview
Beginner STEMbotics is an exciting introduction to robotics and early coding, designed to spark curiosity and creativity in young learners. This hands-on workshop gives students the chance to explore the world of robotics in a fun and accessible way.
During the session, students can build a range of different robot designs from instructions or unleash their creativity by designing and constructing their own unique robots. Once built, we guide them through programming their creations, bringing them to life with movement and behaviours controlled by distance, tilt, or colour sensors.
Programming is tailored to suit all abilities, using icon coding (similar to Scratch Jr.) or block coding (similar to Scratch). Our workshops are led by experienced instructors and can be adapted to include all children, including those with special educational needs (SEN). When you share any additional needs with us, our team will explain how we can support and motivate every child to ensure they have an incredible robotics and coding experience.
Workshop aims
- Bring STEM concepts into real-life situations.
- Promote the use of robotics and coding.
- Develop critical thinking, creativity, and teamwork skills.
- Encourage participation in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths.
