Science Alive Robot Trip

On Friday 17th of October, Science Alive came to St Anne's to teach us about Robotics.
It was very interesting and lots of fun.
We looked at what a robot is and how it is helpful and then we created our own robots using Lego.
Once they were up and running we programmed the robots to perform moves.
We then kept extending ourselves with harder and more complex tasks by adding sensors and additions.
Lastly we got to see a real robot it was worth 40,000 Euros and was amazing it could dance, sing, speak many languages, identify shapes and people and pretty much do anything a human could!
A big thank you to Science Alive.
