Building a Fan using Lego WeDo

Posted on May 19, 2018 by mgarrprimary

The Yr 4.1 students created their own LEGO fans which had to be programmed using Lego Wedo. This session was organised by the class teacher, Ms Angelique Attard with the support of the Digital Literacy Teacher.With the help of the Digital Literacy Support teacher Ms Laura Schembri, the children built a duck by using 6 pieces of Lego for their first activity.

In the second activity the children were divided into groups and together they had to build their own fan by using the Lego WeDo kit. After building the fan they then generated code causing the fan to work.

Lego Wedo Robotics

Posted on June 9, 2015 by mgarrprimary

The Year 6 students had a very interesting robotics workshop organised by the our eLearning support teacher, Ms Laura Schembri, together with the eLearning centre support team.

The students had the opportunity to build their own Lego robots. The robots were connected to a laptop and they had to be programmed to do particular movements.

With the help of this workshop the students had the opportunity to work in pairs or in groups, build their own robots by following a set of instructions and then work out a programme using the LEGO WEDO software.

One can tell from happy faces of the students that this was a very interesting workshop, where students had the opportunity to learn by doing.

Special thanks to the eLearning support team 🙂
