PROGRAM

Description

In this Year 6 robotics course, students will take their coding and engineering skills to the next level using LEGO® SPIKE™ Education, an advanced robotics platform that combines LEGO® building with programmable technology. Students will design and program robots to solve real-world problems, exploring advanced concepts in robotics, sensors, and automation. Through interactive challenges, they’ll develop critical thinking, collaboration, and STEM skills, gaining confidence in coding and engineering. By the end of the course, students will have mastered building and programming complex robotic systems, preparing them for future tech-focused learning.
