Eco-Bot Waste Warrior
In this action-packed engineering workshop, students will build and code their own Micro:bit-powered robot to help clean up land-based pollution. Drawing inspiration from real-world environmental robotics, students will design a waste-collecting robot to tackle a specific cleanup challenge—be it a beach, park, or neighborhood street.
Through research, design, and hands-on programming, they’ll learn how robotics and technology can be harnessed for environmental problem-solving, while gaining technical skills in coding and engineering.
What you’ll learn.
- Global waste issues and innovative cleanup technologies
- Principles of robotics, coding, and engineering design
- How sensors, motors, and code work together
- The role of technology in environmental protection
What you’ll do.
- Research pollution challenges and robotic solutions
- Design a robot for a specific environment
- Code Micro:bit to control sensors and movement
- Build and test a working robot prototype
What you’ll gain.
- Practical coding and engineering experience
- A deeper understanding of tech-driven sustainability
- Critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills
- A functioning robot that reflects your eco-conscious vision
Suited for students in Years 3 - 6
Duration: 1.5 hours x 10 weeks
Cost: $100 - The program is FREE with a NSW Creative Kids Voucher
We require students to bring:
- Device (iPad, Laptop, MacBook or Chromebook) + charger
