Remarkable Robotics Workshops

Inspirational, hands-on, fun and curriculum aligned LEGO Education Robotics workshops for your school.

bring your topic to life with our robotics workshops

Workshops for all ages;

Preschool - Year 11

  • Curriculum Aligned Workshops

Our curriculum aligned workshops are designed to compliment and enhance children’s learning.

From our ‘Starting School’ robotics adventures to the ethics of autonomous vehicles; there’s a workshop for all ages and abilities.

Our workshops are designed to allow children to develop programming skills as well as engineering, creativity, problem solving and logical thinking.

Pricing

Prices for full day school visits with 2 members of staff start at £320 and a half day from £200.

We can accommodate up to 4 classes per day.

Some of our workshops are funded by industry and are free or subsidised for local schools.

All of our workshops are delivered by LEGO Education Certified Trainers who are also experienced teachers.

Our Robotics Workshops by topic

EYFS and KS1

  • This transport themed coding workshop uses LEGO Education’s Coding Express train to travel between locations. Lunch on the beach? A flight abroad? A trip to the snowy mountains? Unleash imaginations and talk about travel, transport and different communities.

    Explore the world around us, communicate in your small group of friends and learn coding principles such as loops, conditional statements and sequencing in this hands-on and fun coding workshop.

  • Our cutest little robot KUBO is off on an adventure.

    We can adapt his adventure to your topic, the seasons or simply to starting school.

    KUBO is our most popular robot for 4-6 year olds and whether you would like him to sweep up autumn leaves, trick-or-treat, avoid the Grinch, save Anna and Elsa, deliver Easter Eggs or go to the beach his coding journey will engage and enrich your children’s computing studies.

    Focusing on sequencing, direction and commands this is a great all round workshop.

  • This Coding Express workshop uses iPads to control the Caterpillar train, building confidence and creativity as students explore the animal kingdom, discovering which commands trigger animal noises.

    Alter the position of the coding blocks to make your very own animal symphony! This links well with texts such as Giraffes Can’t Dance, Animal Music and the Carnival of Animals texts and music and the study of animals.

  • Understand forces, cause and effect and the foundations of design and engineering. This physical-sciences based set is LEGO Education’s one stop shop for understanding gears, levers, pulleys and gravity.

    In these sessions we use science to build the very best Theme Park around.

  • This workshop explores what makes Bude so special. Join us as we look at our canal and lock gates.

    We explore gears and mechanisms, create and design using LEGO Duplo kits.

    This is a fun, hands on workshop which focuses on teamwork, collaboration and communication as well as looking at gears and our local area.

KS2

  • Explore the idea of Variables in this fun and engaging robotics workshop session.

    In this workshop students design a menu for a snack shack and use variables to minimise restaurant wastage!

    This workshop introduces students to data logging and variables in code through a practical and fun restaurant simulation.

    Students build an automated restaurant which delivers your food using LEGO, and a colour sensor based ordering system.

  • Explore life cycles with LEGO Robotics.

    In this workshop we start with an egg and end up with jumping robotic frogs.

    Children will work through the stages of a frog’s development via building with LEGO and programming with icon based code.

  • Bees and other pollinators are integral to our survival, so how can we help them?

    Learn about all things pollination with this LEGO Workshop.

    Students begin with a re-cap of the pollination process and the problems our pollinators face.

    We then build a LEGO Robotic model of the pollination process. This is a creative build process which enables students to explore pollination, engineering and computing.

  • Our Mars Rover workshop looks at the considerations we would need to take to design a space rover.

    We follow the design thinking cycle in this lesson which is perfect for demonstrating the process of testing and evaluation in engineering.

    Students build a Mars rover using LEGO Education Robotics kits and test them on a variety of gravel and terrains.

    This lesson can be adapted for a coding or engineering focus.

    Engineering elements cover:

    • pulleys

    • wheel size

    • materials

    • speed calculations

    • torque

KS3

  • Utilising our tailor-made battle rings, students engage in programming a robot to partake in a Sumo Battle.

    Participants are tasked with creating their personalised battle bot, followed by coding processes employing distance sensors for opponent detection, colour sensors for ring boundary adherence, and force sensors for defensive manoeuvres.

  • Dance, drama, comedy and music combine in this fun and engaging workshop; Robot's Got Talent.

    Using our tailer-made performance stages robots are asked to navigate onto and off a stage in front of our four mystery judges.

    Students program the robots to move, perform and entertain the audience with peer assessment opportunities available.

  • Everyone loves a robot race! This workshop can be a quick introduction to robotics and the design thinking cycle, or a longer investigation into increasing speed.

STEAM Park giant ramps help children to explore forces, gravity and motion.
