Robolab: control technology: working in groups to design and build robo cars/buggies and control them using ‘mindstorm education’ software. Experimenting with speed, direction, power and design. 3 challenges.

Everyone succeeded in the challenges and worked well together and with the mentors. Control technology is a different learning style, less academic and more logical. All children were engaged and excited by this activity and the sense of achievement on their faces said it all.
