Lego Spike Prime

LEGO SPIKE PRIME SESSIONS

Lego Spike Prime is the latest in the Lego robotics range and it is sure to motivate and inspire creativity while developing valuable coding skills your students. Here are the three awesome new challenges that could take place in a Robot Man workshop. I have 10 Lego Spike Prime kits (and expansion packs) which is ideal for up to 30 students (10 groups of three participants).

WALKING ROBOT challenge
+ Drag RACER

Participants are given a kit of Lego Spike prime to build a walking robot that they code to knock over one or more bad guys! No wheels allowed!
Then... if time permits, wheels are allowed to help the students create the fastest drag racer they can!

COLOUR SENSOR CHALLENGE

After a short demonstration and explanation from Robot Man, the students will attempt to build a robot that will travel quickly from one point, around an L-shaped course, and back again. Their robot turns certain directions based on the coloured boards sensed by the robot and they also make use of a force sensor to bounce off one of the walls.

Plank Challenge

Students build a robot that will travel along a plank, as far as possible, without falling off. But look out for the Robot Man's vicious robot attacking from the opposite end!! Their best attempt is recorded on a spreadsheet and ranked against their opponents.
