Content

  • PLEASE NOTE: This is a 4 week block. Robot battle! Engage in exciting robot wars in our micro:bit 'Robot Battles' sessions! Over the four sessions in this block, participants will get creative and innovative as they design, build, program their own robots using micro:bits (one for each robot), the servo motors we used in the previous block and reclaimed or craft materials such as paper cups and pipe cleaners. From learning about the micro:bit and servo motors to constructing robots, programming movements and showcasing their creations in thrilling battles, participants will develop essential S.T.E.A.M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths) skills while having loads of fun. Join us for an electrifying adventure where imagination knows no limits and every battle brings new challenges and victories!

  • 1. Participants will learn about the components and functions of the micro:bit and how to connect it with servo motors, gaining an understanding of basic electronics and robotics concepts. 2. Participants will develop skills in planning and constructing physical structures for their robots using recycled materials, fostering creativity, and engineering design principles. 3. Through block-based programming, participants will learn how to write code to control servo motors and program their robots' movements, enhancing their computational thinking and coding skills. 4. Participants will engage in hands-on problem-solving activities, troubleshooting issues related to construction, programming, and robot functionality, promoting critical thinking and perseverance. 5. Creativity and Innovation as they design, build, and customise their robots, fostering a passion for S.T.E.A.M and inspiring imaginative solutions to real-world challenges. Each robot will need a micro:bit and servo motor and will need to be powered by USB as previous block. Servo robot kits available to order from [email protected]

Hannah Y

STEAM, Coding, Lego & JapanTutor

Hello! I’m Hannah – the founder of Story STEAM – inspiring your children in all things STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths) Coding and Lego! So, a little bit about me… Since completing my BEd Primary Studies (hons) with a specialism in Design Technology, I’ve been a teacher (Reception to Year 6) for over 20 years. In between those 20+ years, I moved to Nara, Japan to take part in the JET (Japanese Exchange and Teaching) programme where I taught English as an additional language to middle-schoolers and adults for 3 years. On returning to live in the UK, I was given responsibility for English and ICT/Computing in the school I worked in. Fast forward to 2020 and remote teaching planted a seed in my mind. During the lockdowns, I spent time reflecting and thinking about what children are not getting at school that I could bring to them online. Story STEAM was born! My son Tomi loves helping with my classes – testing out ideas – especially with coding and micro:bit! Children need time to invent and be creative; it’s good for their mental health. Through STEAM, Coding and Lego Club activities, I hope to give children the opportunity to create while using maths, learning about science, technology, engineering and most importantly – HAVE FUN!

“£2 tuition hub was the best resource I found my entire time home educating. I’m still currently using the £2 Hub 3 years later”

Maxine, Parent

“Fantastic group has helped us through 3+ years of home ed, wish we knew of you before that when we first started ”

Sharon, Parent

“This group is without doubt an absolute blessing. Fantastic classes with amazing teachers at an extremely reasonable price. I for one am so thankful to you and your team for everything you all do. We appreciate the hub so much and are very grateful xx ”

Claire, Parent

“We have been taking part in the BSL lessons and the other day had great fun finger spelling while shopping. Two of my children have dyslexia with T being more severe, he hates and refuses spellings. Along comes BSL and he’s loving spellings!” ”

Holly, Parent

“Our family are full time travellers and the hub is a life line for us. The children get to see and speak to adults who show a real interest in their learning and their lives. They get to pick lessons that they are interested in and have fun learning something new. The social hub was a real life line for us too. My 3 have made friends and love getting to chat to children and adults daily too. ”

Donna, Parent

“I can’t thank you enough for starting this group Amy. You gave me back my happy (not so little anymore) boy. Thanks to this group he’s realised he’s not the stupid, naughty kid that school made him believe he was. His sister is on school holidays and he’s doing recorded lessons by choice. Xxxx ”
