What activities are available during this school workshop?
Our VEX 123 Basics of Coding workshop includes different elements of coding, from simple push buttons to using a magnetic code reader and more. Students will learn how to code their way across the surface of Mars - collecting samples and delivering them to different sensors across the planet's surface!
Which curriculum topics do we cater for?
Maths
Logic and Problem Solving
Students will apply problem solving and mathematics when coding their robot around the VEX grid. Students will use calculations, including addition and subtraction to co-ordinate distances and ensure that their robot can reach its goal!
Computing
Robotics Coding
This workshop includes different methods of coding which can be adapted to the group. Students will use coding methods to navigate VEX 123 robots across a VEX board, which is divided into a grid to help with coding and navigation.
The VEX Robots can move, light up, make sounds and sense objects - features that can all be initiated via coding.
What size groups do we cater for?
This workshop can accommodate one class of up to 30 students. If you have a bigger group, then we can run multiple workshops on the same day.
