Programme

What should a robot be able to do? First children think of possibilities, then they build and explore a simple robot that can vibrate and move.

Exploring robots

Which robots exist and what are they used for?
Making a robot

The group gets hands-on with small materials.
Investigating movement

Children watch what their robot does and how it moves.

Suitable for groups 6 to 8 (ages 9–12). The content depends on the group and the materials available.
