The Robotics Academy allows students to experience an interactive course in which they
design, build and program their robots. The program is targeted at students who
have a keen interest in coding and engineering. Students work predominantly
with the LEGO Mindstorm kits. They begin by building a basic autonomous mobile
robot through which they explore the fundamentals of movement, design and
programming before moving into more complex problem scenarios. Students later learn to program micro:bit electronics and Arduino microcontrollers to tackle
real world scenarios. A critical thinking and problem-solving approach to the
design process is used.
