Learning with Lego at Knaphill Primary School

Today, another band of SATRO volunteers, along with our lovely Associate, Peter were at Knaphill Primary School delivering a Lego WeDo workshop to over 90 Year 3 pupils. The pupils worked in pairs to design, engineer and program 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 designs and programming, and after reflecting on what did or did not work they were able to adjust their designs. Pupils were able to apply their ICT, Maths, Science, problem-solving and team-working skills to this workshop and seem to have really enjoyed themselves. Special thanks to Cllr Linda Kemeny for fully funding this event.
