In celebration of European Robotics Week, an event is organized for students aged 10-14 with the aim of introducing them to the world of robotics and the application of Micro:Bit in exciting projects. Students aged 12-14 will deliver a presentation on robots and the fundamental characteristics of Micro:Bit, simultaneously showcasing their previous projects.
Event Schedule:
1. Day 1: Introduction to Robots and Micro:Bit
– Students aged 12-14 will conduct a presentation on robots that they prepared with their teacher, explaining the basics of robotics and showcasing different types of robots.
– Following that, they will introduce Micro:Bit and demonstrate how to use it for basic projects.
2. Day 2: Project Presentations
– Students aged 12-14 will demonstrate their projects from previous years, including projects involving robots and Micro:Bit, allowing younger students to witness technology in action.
– They will showcase practical examples of their work and how they used technology to solve problems.
– Younger students will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage in discussions with older students about their projects.
3. Day 3: Workshops and Project Development
– Students will be divided into smaller groups and work on projects that involve Micro:Bit and/or robots.
– Teachers and older students will mentor and assist the students in developing their projects.
– Examples of projects:
– Creating a “Smart” thermometer using Micro:Bit.
– Building an autonomous line-following robot.
– Developing a game on Micro:Bit.
– Designing a glowing LED matrix with Micro:Bit.
4. Day 4: Presentation of New Projects
– Students will present their new projects to all event participants.
– Teachers, parents, and guests will evaluate the projects and award prizes for the best works.
5. Day 5: Conclusion and Future Plans
– On the final day, organizers will express gratitude to all participants and emphasize the importance of STEM education and robotics.
– Discussions will revolve around future plans for incorporating more technology into the classroom and encouraging students’ interest in further exploration and learning.
This event will allow students to immerse themselves in the world of technology and robotics, explore creative projects, and develop their programming and engineering skills. It will also promote collaboration and teamwork among students of different age groups, fostering STEM education as something fun and inspiring.
