Drones, Droids & Robots was the school theme for National Science Week this year.
During this week students from all year levels enjoyed lunchtime robotics & coding activities, which were planned & organised by the Year 6 Technology leaders. The Year 6 leaders began each session with an introduction and display of the school’s Sphero robotic balls performing colourful floor routines. This was followed by a demonstration of a Mini Drone performing some impressive aerial tricks & taking some aerial photos of the students watching.
Students then had a chance to try out several activities including Sphero painting, Pro-Bot drawing, Bee-Bot programming and pixel art. Some students explored the coding & robotics iPad apps & books and helped to make our Science Week robots – Boxy Roxy, Robert & Bob.

thanks for teaching me about robotics last year

You’re welcome Jordan. I hope you keep learning lots about Coding & Robotics. Our year 6s have just coded some Maths Quizzes in Tynker like you did last year and we have just purchased a few more Spheros.
