Bits and Bytes

Bits and Bytes is a 10-week programme designed for year 5 and 6 classes. Using LEGO’s educational Spike Prime robotics system, students work in teams to complete various challenges. We look to introduce a competitive team element to the programme which has proven to be very popular with teachers and pupils.
