Offer to schools and youth groups:

1. One day workshops ands tester sessions on Mobile Robotics: It can be for the whole class or a smaller group of 10 - 12 pupils both for primary and secondary age pupils. Sessions can be tailored to carry out investigations on such areas in Maths, DT and Science as data logging, forces, scientific inquiries, control technology and stats. It can perfectly complement ICT lessons and support cross subject approach. Sessions are offered for free with all equipment and materials provided. For A-level students we offer a chance to enhance their knowledge using RobotC programming language - an analog of C+, combining it with investigation around gyro ad accelerometer sensors give a chance to implement differential calculus in practice.

2 Robo Camps: at present we have been offering such camps to schools teams in support of IBM Challenges. The last camp we held was during February half term 2009. This activity can well complement schools science week.

3. Training for Trainers: This is training on-call. One can help to run an existing project or receive one-to-one tuition based around NXT Mindstorms.

The building of programmable robotic models

Learning Robotics means that students will advance their knowledge of science, technology, mathematics and physics. They will be introduced to concepts of programming and engineering, and will have a chance to apply geometry and measurement skills in the context, which they will find easy to engage and understand.
With these skills and knowledge the students can be better equipped for the future, especially if they are planning to seek their future career in industry, science or technology spheres.
In the course of the projects the students will learn problem solving, project management, resource allocation while working in teams.

This project uses dynamic flexibility of the Lego NXT Mindstorms set. Although the programme we offer has an informal character it has its own goals we expect students to achieve during each module.

 

The schools we have delivered sessions and supported include:Glenbrook Primary, King's Avenue Primary, Richard Atkin's Primary, Holy Trinity, Bonneville and Lark Hall, Archbishop Sumner >>>

and St Martin-in-the-Fields, Lambeth Academy, Norwood Academy and Bishop Thomas Grant secondary schools.
