Robots!!!!!

Wow! Birkacre had an amazing morning on Friday when they met the robots.

Louise Dennis from Liverpool University paid us a visit and brought her robot friends with her.

The children programmed the robots using tablets, they made them move forwards, backwards and turn. They also programmed the robots to have a 1 second delay which is similar to the conditions that programmers work with when putting robots on the moon. Well we weren’t putting robots on the moon put we had fun programming!

We discovered the robots had sensors so we used these to program them to identify an obstacle and avoid it.

So parents beware! You might find robots finding their way onto the children’s Christmas list!!!
