Computing at School - Essex Hub

"Being involved in Lego League develops skills in problem solving, analytical thinking, research and teamwork whilst having fun." Many schools are using robots either as part of the curriculum or through after school clubs.  Their use is relevant to many areas of the curriculum, I have seen them being used in D&T, Science as well as ICT and Computing.

This term's Computing at School hub meeting will focus on the use of robotics within the curriculum and the opportunities that they afford.  There is no doubting the motivational factor behind such hardware in the classroom - come along and find out more, meet with colleagues, share ideas and have some fun!  There is no charge for this event but please register to help us with catering :-)

Our meeting will be led by experienced roboteer Kate Sim.  Also on hand will be Mary Hayes the new regional officer for Vital for our region.

Please bring a full-charged laptop so that, on installation of the correct software, it can be used by your team to control your robot as you seek to become the champion in the pursuit race!

I look forward to seeing you there.  Food and refreshments will be provided.
