On a mission with LEGO robots at the BTU Children’s University
About the Children’s University event
A Children’s University workshop there is entitled ‘LEGO Robots on a Mission – Discover the World of Programming’. How far does a robot travel with one wheel rotation? How do you programme it so that it reaches a target with pinpoint accuracy or even traces a shape you’ve designed yourself? In this workshop at the Newton Flight Academy Brandenburg, participants programme LEGO robots using a simple block-based language and complete exciting missions. In the process, they’ll learn the basics of programming in a playful way and, along the way, discover how Mathematics helps to control robots with precision. Together, they’ll experiment, tinker and test – no prior knowledge is required, just curiosity and a love of discovery!
As the number of participants is limited, it’s worth performing the registration quickly. Please perform the registration by emailing kinderuni(at)b-tu.de.
