Lesson in a Box – Simple Robotics

The Lesson in a Box (Simple Robotics) is a complete set of electronics and teaching resources to enable successful cross-curricular lessons with minimal teacher effort. Just add BBC micro:bits. Reference the Simple Robotics Kit for an idea on what an individual kit looks like and includes.

Note – There are 10 student and 1 teacher sets of Electronics (11 sets in total , micro:bit sold separately) supplied in a large reusable Gratnells tray.

In addition to electronics, this kit includes:

In developing this box we wanted it to be affordable, useful and robust enough for teachers to use again and again. All of the teaching resources are set out in a teacher, user-friendly’ way, including technicians notes, lesson plans, resources and workbooks or worksheets. There is also an introduction to the Lesson in a Box kit that gives a overview of its contents, set up guides for technicians and an overview of the included lessons. As has been mentioned, this kit is cross-curricular and has been designed for DT, Computing & Physics.

The robots utilize the BBC micro:bit and a clip-able motor driver board designed specifically for this type of activity. The advantages of the micro:bit are that, while being easy to use, it is feature packed and it can be coded with languages that suit every ability level.

• DT– Your robots are all about the design process.
• Computing– Your robots are all about the robots code.
• Physics Your robot is all about speed and velocity.
• Enrichments & Open Days It’s all about experimentation and fun.
