  • Island Mission for Year 3 Robots!

    Published 27/01/22

    We have been using our DT knowledge and skills to design and make robots. We learned the 4 steps of the design process are: Research, Design, Make and Evaluate. Our robots had to be able to travel on different surfaces on an island, as well as carry equipment for scientists. Year 3 showed incredible teamwork and imagination when constructing their robots – they added electric circuits for headlamps, horns and motors, using switches to turn them on and off. We had to think about how to protect the circuits from rain on the island. Well done year 3 on your fantastic robots! 

    Fantastic work within our Project which is inspired by our half term text: The Wild Robot
