Eco-Bot Waste Warrior
In this project, students will design, build, and program a Micro:bit Lego robot to locate, collect, and dispose of land-based trash and pollution. They will explore global waste issues and examine existing robots used to tackle pollution; from trash-collecting machines to waste-management drones.
By researching these technologies, students will gain insight into how engineering and coding can address environmental challenges. They will use this knowledge to create a robot tailored to clean a specific area, such as a park, beach, or street.
Students will also write and debug code to make their robot functional, learning to use sensors for trash detection and motors for movement. This hands-on project will develop their technical skills in coding and engineering while fostering an understanding of environmental sustainability and the role technology plays in solving global problems. By the end, students will have created a working robot prototype that reflects both their technical skills and commitment to a cleaner planet.
Age: 7 - 12
Duration: 5 hours
Cost: $100 - The program is FREE with a NSW Creative Kids Voucher
