STEM Update

It was our last session of the term, so it was time for my favourite Easter treat - annoying young people - and by that, I mean setting up a robot challenge involving chocolate.

I brought in some new robots - Cody Rockys, these robots have a bunch of functions; from gyroscopes, motion detectors, light sensors, and much more, they also have the function to be augmented with other objects (in this case LEGO) to use them in a range of situations.

The challenge was simple - code your robot to drive to the chocolate and bring it back, but of course, it turned out to be much trickier than it sounded.

It was great seeing the young people problem-solve on the fly and come up with a range of creations and solutions to the problem (and also get very cross at me for not giving them all a chocolate...)
