Opportunities galore!

“There are some great robotics competitions out there! Raising Robots are very active in two of the big ones – Tomorrow’s Engineers EEP Robotics Challenge and First LEGO League.

Both these competitions immerse young people in real-world technology and computing challenges. Over the course of a few weeks, students learn how to build, program and control autonomous LEGO robots in school, or in after-school clubs.

The challenges involve using these skills to complete a series of short space missions in teams using LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 sets. One of the many aims of the challenges is to inspire students to consider a career in engineering by giving them hands-on experience of robotics engineering, computing and software programming.

And obviously, the challenges are great fun and bring out the very best in young people!”
