Generating Genius presents unique opportunity for young scientists
A robotics week supported by African creative arts and music technology for YEAR 8, 9 or 10 students. This week-long non-residential summer school will take place at The School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London and will feature:
An exciting fusion of robotics and African creative arts, the programme aims to give the students:
- An introduction to industrial and scientific application of robots
- A basic understanding of electronics circuits and components
- The ability to select, design, build and test electronic robots
- The technical skills to assemble and the technical content to understand and control electronic robots
- The ability to work in the groups/teams and teach them basic project management skills
- Assistance in preparing a PowerPoint presentation of the robotics for a competition at the end of the week
The robots are then designed so that they can perform African and Caribbean dance and movement. This is supported with music technology workshops. Lunch will be provided.
