A new year means new classes and new learners full of excitement and energy. Today was the first Robotics and Coding lesson at N.V. Cewu Public Primary School. The new learners were introduced to the different components of the LEGO Mindstorms robots and were instructed to learn about them in different groups. Each group learned about different parts of the robots and their functions.
After about 20 minutes, each group presented their results in front of the rest of the class. Some learners were a bit excited and found it difficult to speak in front of about 25 peers. Others were chatting and laughing too loud while the other groups were presenting their results. However, after the tutors intervened and restored order, the atmosphere was noticeably much more focused.

Once the theoretical part is completed (in 2 to 3 weeks time), the learners will be able to apply their knowledge and be allowed to operate the robots in full action. That’s when the fun for the learners really begins!
Overall, the class did well considering it is the first they are exposed to robotics and coding. We are excited to see how this group will evolve and especially how this year’s Robotics competitions will pan out!
