Primary & Secondary Workshops

Using a specially-designed version of the brand new LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT technology, build and program smart robots that must complete a variety of life saving operations, inject medicine, get a grip on weird, unwanted cells, repair a broken vein, respond to a heartbeat alert, and much more.  Children explore design and computer control, then test the performance of their robots on a unique electronic playing field.

KEY STAGE 2 & 3
8 - 13 YEARS

Design and technology, science - introduces the concept of structure and stability. Pupils investigate strong structures through building and testing on specially designed earthquake tables.
 
KEY STAGES 1 & 2
5 - 8 YEARS

Design & technology, science, mathematics – introduces the concept of gear wheels and movements. Pupils have the chance to build a fairground ride and experiment with its speed and direction using gear wheels.

KEY STAGES 1 & 2
5 - 10 YEARS

Design and technology, science – explore movement and forces, including gravity and friction. Using a LEGO^® vehicle, pupils investigate the effect of weight and friction on the speed of their vehicle.
