How the day works?

Students will work in pairs, one class at a time, to build and code models using Lego bricks, an Ipad, motors and sensors with a focus on a sustainable future for our planet. The activity can be differentiated by age and ability by challenging students to solve a real world sustainability issue.


During the day, students will: 
  • Learn how to code
  • Write, adapt and create their own code
  • Design and construct Lego models
  • Brainstorm to find creative alternative solutions
  • Learn to communicate, share ideas and work together
  • Create simple machines incorporating gears, levers, pulleys and sensors
  • Use feedback to identify faults and improve their model
Students will also work on transferable skills:
  • Explore problems by thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of possible solutions
  • Keep trying when something goes wrong and encourage others to keep trying too
  • Work with a positive attitude to new challenges
  • Work well with others and support others if you can
