Descrizione
Our aim in this event is to expose the participants ages 4-13 to a variety of programming methods with the help of different robotic and tech tools in a fun and interactive format. The event is held on a Saturday and marks the 5th birthday of Kids Life Skills. Several stations will be set up in the area available at the location. Station 1, 2 and 3 will present one robot each, and will offer the participants an activity to explain how the robots operate and how they are programmed. This will be done in small groups of 3-5 participants at a time, in order for them to have plenty of time for hands-on trial and error programming of the robots. Station 4 is geared toward the youngest participants and presents a simple and fun activity with Primo and Caterpillar. They will be able to get a hands-on feel for logical thinking and sequencing with the guidance of the instructor.
Towards the end of the day we will have the main event in Station 1 - Botley football match. The teams will then compete against each other in a tournament format, in each match the participants of the team that did not move to the next level will have the choice to continue watching the tournament and encouraging their favorite team or engage in other freestyle activities programming robots.
Once the football match is concluded, the winning team will proceed to choosing the winning ticket number from the raffle bowl. The chosen ticket will be the new owner of the Botley Robot.
We will have a large area on the shopping mall floor at our disposal and will set up the following experiences within:
Station 1: Botley Discovery, Activities and Football Match
Station 2: Sphero Discovery and Maze and Race
Station 3: Indie Discovery and Balloon Battle
Station 4: Primo and Caterpillar Discovery
Registration to the event will be opened on our website, several events platforms and our social media. The registration and participation is free. Based on our past experience we expect around 100-130 participating kids in the event. This special event will create a lot of excitement and will thus see a lot of interest.
Essentially we would like to give away a significant prize (Botley) for the Botley football match. Every player will be able to add their ticket to the raffle bowl and the winner will be announced later in the afternoon after the football tournament. Also we will make use of a wheel of fortune to give away small prizes to all participants adding another fun element.
