Congratulations to the Senior Room pupils who travelled to TUS, Athlone on 11th June to showcase their BRICS projects. The pupils have engaged with the Lego BRICS programme over the past year in conjunction with Athlone Education Centre and Oide. They learned how to use Lego to make and programme robots. For the showcase day, they were tasked with designing and creating a robot to solve a real-world problem.
Horseleap N.S. had three robots to display:
'The Big Beak Blocker' which was a robot designed to help smaller birds access food and keep larger birds away!
'BRICS Basket' was an automated delivery service controlled by an app which delivered shopping.
'Aqua, the plant waterer' watered your plants when the sensor noticed that the weather was dry!
The pupils had a very enjoyable day, presenting their projects and visiting the other displays. Well done to all these scientists and creators of the future!
