Description

Aim of the badge: To encourage an interest in Robotics and STEM learning
Requirements: Complete four activities around Robotics and LEGO

Watch a video about how robots move (Option 2 of 4)

Outcomes: Create an awareness of the possibilities of robots.
Encourage creative thinking on the different areas of our lives that robots can be useful (e.g. factories, hospitals, sports, to help people who have lost limbs)

Resources

Laptop / tablet (if your group has access to more than one device, divide girls in groups of 4 or 5)

If your Unit does not have access to audiovisual equipment, the YouTube links could be mailed to parents and the girls could be asked to view at home and then discuss the videos at the meeting

If showing the video and doing discussions in smaller groups, get the girls to go back into a circle to discuss what each group came up with
