This workshop introduces young minds to the fascinating world of coding with innovative Sphero Indi cars. Equipped with coloured mats, students will engage in a hands-on experience, honing their ability to provide precise instructions to their robotic companions and starting them off on their coding journey. As they navigate their Indi cars, the workshop will dynamically adapt to the students’ proficiency levels, concluding with them becoming climate action heroes by using their robotic companions to clean up the ocean.
