PUPILS LEARN WITH LEGO @ BEAUFORT

Yesterday, around 120 pupils from Beaufort Primary in Woking took part in our innovative LEGO WeDo workshop. 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 initial designs and programming; after reflecting on what did or did not work, they learnt to consult with peers, adapt their programming and adjust their designs. With thanks to Surrey County Council for fully funding this workshop.

5th October 11 - Gifted year 8 Construction, Engineering and Design

72 students from 9 schools took part in the Gifted Year 8 Construction, Engineering and Design Challenge at Royal Alexandra & Albert School. The students were put into mixed school groups and were given the task of building an Olympic Stadium, below are some of the comments from them:

"It wasn't like i thought it would be at all. I liked working with new people but i was surprised that we weren't working with our school. I liked today!"

"The Independence of the day. This was however, a good thing as it helped develop our skills"

"How we decide every last detail about the stadium, especially the capacity, size and cost".
