Excited Buzz Around HEPS

Our school hosted students from Capertee and Hampton Public Schools for an engaging day of STEM and robotics. The day started with some fun ‘ice-breaker’ games where the students got to know each other a little better.

Following the ice-breakers the students all took a step forward in their

understanding of STEM before learning to care for their robots. 

It is amazing how quickly students pick up on new technology.

Before long everyone was in full control of their own robot, starting, stopping, moving and coding special moves. It was great to see everyone sharing code tracks and combining robots on tracks.

Some of the codes looked like the streets of Sydney with robots moving every which way. To finish the activities students enjoyed a game of ‘robot soccer’!  It was nice to see and hear a great deal of fun and laughter between the children to end the day.
