Redeemer Robotics

With the number of students wishing to participate in FIRST LEGO League Explore, we ran two dedicated Year 3 and Year 4 co-curricular clubs to support the growth and learning of our youngest Robotics students. Year 3 students developed their creativity and confidence building complex designs with LEGO WeDo 2.0 and programming them using block coding. Year 4 students connected and extended their knowledge of WeDo 2.0 systems using a new interactive Scratch-based programming environment. They were able to create interactive and virtual pianos, paintballs, and seesaws using LEGO and Scratch.

Our Years 5 to 8 students have ‘taken flight’ with this year’s competition season. This year we had four teams (our biggest number yet). Students developed their understanding of programming EV3 and Spike Prime systems to solve challenges for ‘Cargo Connect’ the FIRST LEGO League Challenge theme for the year. Our most senior Robotics teams do not use LEGO robotics kits, but build larger scale robots using components, some of which they create themselves on a 3D printer! The First Tech Challenge this year, Freight Frenzy, required students to build a robot to transport essential goods in a race against time and other robots.

Many thanks to the staff and students who have helped with Robotics this year, especially Miss Jamie Rudd, Mr Bradley Duffy and Mr Anthony Vassallo. Wishing you all a wonderful holiday and looking forward to 2022.
