Our EV3 Mindstorm robots have arrived and we’re super excited to test them out! Help us give them a workout and program them!  

You’ll love programming and testing these third generation of robotics which come with a range of improved elements including an improved intelligent brick, new motors, new sensors and improved software.

During this workshop participants will:

  • Be introduced to programming EV3 robots using drag and drop coding.
  • Use new programming skills to undertake challenges using your robot’s colour and ultrasonic sensors.
  • Modify your robot structure to construct a zoetrope-robot that creates animated pictures, a spirograph robot that creates cool artworks, and more.
  • Showcase your new robotic skills (and your robot’s artwork) at the Mindstorming Mayhem Premiere at the end of the day. (Adults welcome).

Experience a full day of fun these school holidays! Don't forget to bring a water bottle and your lunch.
