TAKING THE LEAD IN LEARNING WITH LEGO
On Friday 9th April, 30 pupils from St Bartholomew's Primary School in Haslemere received our newly introduced, innovative programme that is the LEGOWeDo workshop. Pupils worked in pairs to design, engineer and programme robots using LEGO bricks, a computer, a motor and other special elements. Pupils learnt to incorporate tilt and motion sensors into their designs. They then tested their initial designs and programming; after reflecting on what did or did not work, the pupils learnt to consult with peers, adapt their programming, and adjust their designs. One pupil said "It has made me feel so glad and lucky to be in an amazing school that lets us do these activities. Science is an incredible subject and I really enjoy it." While another commented, "It has made me think more about being a scientist or engineer! I would liek to get one of the kits."
