The Scrapbot Olympics has two online activities, followed by on a on-campus day for the final competition. Your students will work in teams of up to 6, and will complete in robot building with up to 8 other teams. You can expect them to get involved with engineering topics and equipment that they haven’t had a chance to yet – opening up their horizons on the subject and developing their passion. They’ll need to do around 2-4 hours work outside of the sessions run by our team to get the most out of this activity.
When does the activity take place?
There’s a launch activity on Wednesday 10 January to give your students the low down on what will happen throughout the project, and they’ll come together with other schools on-campus on Tuesday 5 March to show off their robot creations.
The two online sessions will be booked to suit your school’s timetable – your Outreach Officer will support arrangements.
How can my students take part?
All bookings for the on-campus activity have happened. If your school has been offered places during the booking process, your Outreach Officer will be in touch directly to book the wraparound in-school sessions at a time that suits your timetable.
Interested in more activities for your Year 8s and 9s? Check out what else is on offer in Future Me.
Don’t forget, our Outreach team is here to help. So, if you’ve got a question, just ask.
