What is the Re-engineering Rehab Challenge?

From regaining strength after injury to rebuilding fine motor skills, rehabilitation robots are transforming patient recovery. In this Challenge learners create their own robot concepts and use micro:bits to bring them to life! Teacher support available to help with using micro:bits.

What is The Secrets Within Challenge?

Some of the world’s most fascinating places remain out of reach — from ancient pyramid shafts to underground tunnels. Your learners think and work as engineers, designing their own robots to navigate challenging, hard-to-reach locations.

What have teachers and pupils gained from Eng Ed resources?
Both teachers and pupils gained a deeper understanding of robotics and the world of engineering. Feedback was gathered through the 'Share Your Voice' bursary opportunity. 
St Joseph's took on the Shop-a-bot Challenge. Year 6 pupils said:
"Robots are really useful around the world. I think robots are the future."
"I’ve learned about exploding diagrams and I enjoyed programming the BeeBots."
Gillespie Primary School undertook the Motion in the Ocean Challenge. A Class teacher said:
"I gained a lot of very interesting knowledge about robots that I did not know before... It was really useful to have all the resources at my fingertips and I appreciated examples of completed work so that I could use these as a reference. There were so many other useful resources included, such as design and technology techniques, career information and videos about how to draw exploded diagrams."
'Share Your Voice' bursary applications open for round 2!
