Are you ready for a summer of creative computing and some risky robots?

Run by Warwickshire's ICT Service, our three day summer school for 8 - 14 year olds is a brilliant way of getting into the exciting world of drones and robotics whilst having great fun! Over the three days you will program drones, build and race LEGO creations, interact with NAO the humanoid robot, make music and produce your own movie! Making the most of new technologies and working out of our fantastic Apple Regional Training Centre in Leamington Spa, (Pound Lane, Leamington Spa, CV32 7RT) your three days will be jam packed with lots of hands-on activities and challenges.

Whether you are a beginner or a computing expert there will be something for you:

• Interact with the NAO humanoid robots
• Work with experienced trainers to build and program robots with LEGO Education WeDo 2 and Mindstorms EV3
• Program air and ground drones to complete a range of challenges
• Rock it with the Risky Robots Garage Band!
• Make your own B Movie!!

The sessions are all about getting hands-on and creative with robotics, coding and some great apps. All the activities will encourage problem solving, teamwork, collaboration and experimentation. For the provisional session outline, please click here, but note that all sessions are subject to final confirmation.

This is our second year running a summer school. If you attended last year, it would be great to see you again for even more fun, and new challenges!
