Learning Lab - Robotics Workshop for microbit

Learning Lab is a series of construction-based learning sets which include lesson plans for classroom implementation. This set combines the Learning Lab construction blocks with micro:bit, to build models that are interactive and programmable. The lesson plans included will give you plenty of classroom activities and ideas to start with, or build your own model! You can re-use the pieces over and over again. Students will gain scientific knowledge through hands-on experience, developing problem solving abilities, as well as a positive attitude towards science. It allows them to apply their newfound knowledge to daily life, furthering their innovation skills and abilities.

This kit is designed to introduce students to coding, robotics, and hands-on digital learning. With user-friendly components and engaging activities, students can explore computational thinking and problem-solving in an interactive way.

Educational Benefits:

• Encourages logical thinking and problem-solving skills.
• Provides hands-on experience with coding and electronics.
• Supports STEM and STEAM learning across various subjects.
• Helps students develop creativity through interactive projects.
• Fosters collaboration through teamwork and group activities.

Classroom Integration Ideas:

• Use in coding lessons to introduce block-based programming.
• Create interactive science experiments with real-world applications.
• Engage students in collaborative problem-solving challenges.
• Develop creative storytelling with animated LED displays.
