Workshop Options: Robogals Melbourne

EV3 Workshop:

The Robogals flagship EV3 workshop engages students with Lego Mindstorm EV3 robots. Students learn the basics of control flow processes used in programming languages in an interactive way. The students learn how to steer EV3 robots using a series of movement commands and the robot's colour sensor. The students combine their learned knowledge during the session to battle other students in a large robot sumo-wrestling competition. Pupils do not need prior programming knowledge and it is a great way to heighten their problem solving, critical thinking skills, and technical aptitude.

Duration: 1-1.5 hr | Preferred number of students: 20-30 | Aimed at Upper Primary and Secondary students | Equipment Used: EV3 robots and laptops (both provided by us)

Python Workshop:

The python workshop engages students of all levels to learn how to code in python. Students learn basic concepts of coding and understand basic techniques of python. The students combine their learned knowledge to build shapes using code. The workshop can be held as a one-off, or over a period of time, developing and introducing more concepts in the world of python. Students do not need prior knowledge of coding or python and it is a great introduction to the world of coding.

Duration: 1 hr | Preferred number of students: 20-25 | Type: Online (zoom) | Equipment Used: Students’ own laptop

Arduino Workshop:

The Robogals Arduino workshop will provide students with a basic introduction to coding and electronics. Students will be introduced to basic circuit components such as LEDs, resistors, breadboards, and wires. They will then be introduced to the Arduino integrated development environment and basic coding. Through a series of three activities, they will then construct basic circuits and program LEDs to blink in different patterns.

Duration: 1.5 hr | Preferred number of students: 20-25 | Equipment Used: Individual laptops and Arduino kits (both provided by us)
