Lego Robotics Challenge

Year 5 boys had a fun and challenging day at Redmaids’ Junior School this week as they got to grips with STEM-packed learning and Lego Mindstorms robots.

After using the morning to build and learn to program their robots, each team spent the afternoon using their newly acquired skills to take on ‘missions’ in which their robot had to accomplish particular tasks. Careful measuring and logical planning were the key here. Saving their successful programs, the teams then took part in timed challenges to win as many points as possible.

The boys had a terrific day and learned lots! Thank you to Redmaids’ Junior School for hosting the event.
