Over the past two learning blocks, Year 6 Robotics Club pupils embarked on an exciting journey of discovery and innovation, taking on more advanced challenges that showcased their creativity and problem-solving skills.

In addition to designing and programming race cars to investigate factors influencing speed, the pupils tackled ambitious projects such as the ‘Moon Base’ mission, where they engineered and programmed robots capable of navigating the moon’s surface.

They also explored the principles of balanced and unbalanced forces in the ‘Pulling’ project, creating robots to investigate how these forces affect motion.

Other standout projects included ‘Plants and Pollinators,’ where students built and programmed a model of a bee and flower using motion sensors, and ‘Prevent Flooding,’ where they designed and programmed a floodgate to control river water levels.

Jesualdo, head of the Robotics club, commented:

“It was a joy to witness their curiosity and determination as they deepened their understanding of STEM through hands-on, collaborative learning!”

The children thoroughly enjoyed the club and the work they achieved, providing some comments below:

“I think Coding and Robotics is fun, cool and interesting, but also challenging”

 

“I loved using Block Coding to program my robots”

 

“I enjoyed Robotics Club, I made lots of different robots like a helicopter, a racing car and even a grabbing stuff robot”

 

“I really enjoyed my time in STEM and wish to go again soon”
