About the Workshop
Students that participate in ‘Robot Rescue’ will understand links between robots and the real world.
After diving into the world of coding, AI, sequences and senses, learners apply their transferable skills to complete a team challenge.
Set in Japan, learners work together to programme a robot and save the survivor of an ‘earthquake’, aiming to navigate around debris, barriers, and ramps in their way and return to safety as quickly and efficiently as possible. Throughout the session, learners will apply mathematical and geographical skills to help them succeed in their challenge.
By the end of the session, learners will understand the key concepts of robots, be able to write advanced code, and identify various coding patterns. By taking part in the challenges learners will also develop the key transferable skills required for a successful career in STEM.
Ideal for keystage 3 and 4 but can also be delivered successfully to keystage 5 (year 7-13)

Logistics and planning:
The session is designed for around 30 learners and requires a hall space.
The activities can range from 1 – 2 hours.
We ask that a teacher is always present throughout the activities, to support learner engagement and manage behaviour.
Workshops can be booked on their own and delivered on rotation throughout the day or delivered as part of a series of workshops,
where classes rotate between multiple activities.
