9 Schools in the robots in schools project

The Robots in School project is about providing, on a one-year loan, a set of  robot arm kits in Schools (primary or secondary),  for them to play, come up with ideas around them and then share the ideas - http://robotschools.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/start-of-project.html .  Ten sets of robot arm kits were made available.

An interactive map below shows the schools who are part of the project.




There are already some interesting ideas being carried out here are just a few examples:

Thanks to @cbiseducation and @scottturneruon for the loan of the @Raspberry_Pi powered robot arm. The children were buzzing with pleasure 😃

Social Robotics for Primary School children

A member of the Computing Team presented a talk on Social Robotics (with a little help from a Red friend) to an audience of primary school children as part of Lab_13's Lectures at Wollaston School, Northamptonshire.

Red performed walking with three of the children and the presentation included discussion about the robots JIBO and Buddy that are expected this year.

Social robots meet red and smurf from Scott Turner

A change I would like to make is to bring along an OhBot (a bit like the one in the video below) as well as including OhBot in the revised presentation slides.
