Robotics - STEM ( Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)

VEX ROBOTICS

We have introduced VEX robotics into our curriculum and already we have been very successful in many competitions.

Our proud moment!

The Victorian Department of Education media unit visited our school to film some of our students talking about and demonstrating  FFL ( First Lego League) robotics. We have successfully competed nationally and internationally and there are many trophies in our foyer.

 

FOUNDATION

NAO ROBOT demonstration

            

Robotics -  Scratch Junior

Coding - Code and Go ( Coby mouse)

Our Foundation students  are highly engaged in their robotics sessions.

YEAR 1

Robotics and coding  - WeDo, Scratch Junior,Sphero and Osmo

YEAR 2

Robotics- Osmo,Sphero and WeDo

Coding- Kodable

OSMO    

Osmo’s open game play encourages interaction and collaboration, allowing for the development of social-emotional skills. Students learn by engaging, and with Osmo, teachers are able to promote open-ended interaction and learning through discovery. Osmo fosters learning in key areas such as: creative problem solving and  STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). 

WEDO  Lego      

WeDo Construction Set

LEGO® Education WeDo is a fantastic, simple-to-use tool that enables students to learn by constructing their own models and bringing them to life. WeDo improves communication, collaboration and team-building skills. WeDo helps teach how technology plays an active and informative role in the students’ learning and is an ideal program for teaching across different subjects at primary level, particularly literacy, science, maths and technology.   

SPHERO
