Robotics Club
Building things that move
What this club is for
Purpose
To join hands and head — designing, assembling and programming simple machines so that the science of the classroom becomes something a child can hold.
What it aims to develop
-
Design, build, improve
The cycle of designing, building, testing and improving a working model.
-
Mechanisms and sensors
An introduction to simple mechanisms and sensors and how they work together.
-
Teamwork on a build
A shared build that only comes together through teamwork.
-
Learning from failure
Treating a failed attempt as information, not a reason to stop.
Typical activities
-
Working models
Small working machines built by hand to test a design idea.
-
Exhibition builds
Larger builds prepared to be shown and explained at school exhibitions.
-
Team design challenges
A set problem solved as a team, within a fixed time and with fixed materials.
How it helps a child grow
Children who are unafraid to take something apart and make it better.
