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.

Parklands say:
It was fun and we got to know about teamwork: Josh

Me and Ty worked well together, but our robot was a bit rubbish as it went in circles: Kieran

I had a fun time doing Robolab: Alex

I had fun, it teaches you how to do teamwork: Tiegan

It was fun working with Ella and George as they helped you when we got stuck and they didn’t moan at me: Ellie

I liked Robolab as we shared ideas and it was really good: Sydney

Bibin (mentor) says the children were excited about the parking garage. They all learned through mistakes.

Myra (senior mentor) says she was amazed the children picked it up so quickly.

Anna says Parklands worked well together and acheived everything they set out to.
