Eco-Bot Waste Warrior
In this action-packed engineering workshop, students will build and code their own Micro:bit-powered robot to help clean up land-based pollution. Drawing inspiration from real-world environmental robotics, students will design a waste-collecting robot to tackle a specific cleanup challenge—be it a beach, park, or neighborhood street.
Through research, design, and hands-on programming, they’ll learn how robotics and technology can be harnessed for environmental problem-solving, while gaining technical skills in coding and engineering.
What you’ll learn.
Global waste issues and innovative cleanup technologies
Principles of robotics, coding, and engineering design
How sensors, motors, and code work together
The role of technology in environmental protection
What you’ll do.
Research pollution challenges and robotic solutions
Design a robot for a specific environment
Code Micro:bit to control sensors and movement
Build and test a working robot prototype
What you’ll gain.
Practical coding and engineering experience
A deeper understanding of tech-driven sustainability
Critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills
A functioning robot that reflects your eco-conscious vision
Suited for students in Years 3 - 6
Duration: 1.5 hours x 10 weeks
Cost: $100 - The program is FREE with a NSW Creative Kids Voucher
We require students to bring:
- Device (iPad, Laptop, MacBook or Chromebook) + charger
