Lesson time:
1.5 hours, once per week
Group size:

Using the advanced LEGO® SPIKE Prime platform, students explore robotics through real-world challenges: like building an automatic gate, a barcode scanner, or a sorting machine. They use Smart Hubs, servo motors and Scratch-based programming to design and refine their robots.
Every session is a mix of creativity, teamwork, and experimentation — and the “improvement stage” is often their favourite part!
