STEM-Robogals Incursion

  In a room of 10 engineers, how many are girls?

 

The answer would shock you… 

Only 1 or 2 🙁

 

 

During the lessons, Robogals discussed with us the different types of engineering and why engineering is important to our lives. 

 

The Grade 5&6 students got a chance to learn about Arduino C++ programming, experimenting with circuit design, sensor/actuator interfacing. 

 

The Grade 3&4 students got to experiment with programming Spike Prime robots, tinkering with the basics of building and programming autonomous robots. They also got to develop effective problem-solving skills by decomposing problems into smaller parts.

 

 

We’d like to thank Robogals for such a fun and engaging learning experience. They have ignited even more interest and passion for STEM subjects for the students at FPS. 

 

A special thank you to Natalie Smith, Isabel Varughese, Caryn Kesuma, Amy Van Liessum, Angelina Kiat and Nicole Lim! We hope you’ll come back next year :)
