Today the children were set another exciting task to build a robot and use code to move it in different directions. The teams were challenged to direct their robot vehicle around the mat and travel on an energy journey from energy source to the consumer.

The next task was to work as a team and create a model for a better energy journey for their community. We investigated the local area and discussed how we could use renewable energy to innovate an energy consumer.

Here are some examples of our ideas:

An electric powered fire engine.

A fairground ride powered by wind turbine.

Replacing the coal from the Marine Park train with renewable power.
