A festive twist on robotics! In this session, participants will design and build their own holiday-themed robots. Children will engage in creating fun, interactive robotic "toys" using sensors, lights, and motors to mimic holiday activities.

Learning outcomes

Children will be introduced to basic robotics concepts such as the use of sensors and motors. They will develop problem-solving skills by assembling and programming their creations, focusing on both the technical and creative aspects of robot building. The session aims to foster creativity while providing hands-on experience with simple robotics and engineering principles.

Information for parents

It is beneficial to bring a laptop if you can to enable your child to save their work to continue developing their skills. We also advise that you download the relevant software prior to the workshop. Setting this software up is easy and we will provide you with comprehensive set-up instructions before your lessons begin, so do check your email!

Camp structure

This is a sample schedule for a typical day at camp. In between each lesson there will be a 15-minute snack break, or a 1-hour lunch and play break.
10.00 - 11.00
Lesson 1
First off we'll get to know our teacher and classmates through some great mini games. Once we're all friends, we'll be introduced to our activity for the day. Let's jump in to coding!
11.15 - 12.30
Lesson 2
Now that we've had a healthy snack, we're ready to get right back into our activity. We'll carry on flexing our creative muscles by designing, coding and building our project.
13.30 - 14.45
Lesson 3
Let's refocus after lunch and playtime by diving into building our robots!
15.00 - 16.00
Lesson 4
It's time to finish off our project for the day and show it off to the rest of the class. Time has flown by - let's tidy up our work stations, pack up our things and get ready to go home!

My favourite part was all the coding
