Event information

SPIKE IN CHARGE WORKSHOP WITH W5 - Catastrophe! A city is plunged into darkness in the aftermath of an environmental disaster! Under a state of emergency, can Spike Prime deliver the power needed to meet the demand in time?

In this workshop, Participants will learn about how we rely on energy to live and the importance of moving away from burning fossil fuels and towards cleaner energy sources. Kids will be introduced to the Lego Robot Spike Prime and – with some initial guidance – discover its impressive functionality, enabled through coding. Pupils will first learn how to set up and calibrate their robots and then how to provide coding instructions for movement. The workshop culminates with a simple group task, where teams program their robots to move ‘energy packets’ across a gaming mat, to predefined target areas in under two minutes.

For Ages: 8-15 / Duration: 90 mins.

Start Time: 1.00pm (Exit Time: 2.30pm).

Venue: Ulster Museum, Learning Zone.
