In this exciting Year 5 Robotics course, students will dive into robotics using LEGO® WeDo, a hands-on platform for building and programming robots. They will learn how to design, build, and code their robots, exploring fundamental robotics, engineering, and programming concepts. Students will develop their problem-solving, critical thinking, and teamwork skills through engaging projects as they bring their robots to life. By the end of the course, students will have gained a solid understanding of robotics and coding, laying the groundwork for future STEM learning.
Introduction to Robotics:
Learn the basics of building and programming robots using LEGO® WeDo kits.
Sensors and Motors:
