Fifth Class had great fun taking part in the Analogue Devices, Learn-it LEGO robotics class .There were only 30 available spaces through out the whole of Limerick and the lines opened at 10 o’clock on the 9th January with a first come, first served system so we had to be quick. We were one of the lucky schools to successfully apply.

On the 30th  of January two people called Fergal and Marvee came to our school to show us how to build and program robots which were made of LEGO. In groups of 3, we set to build our robots with a manual on the computer screen. When we were all done building our robots Fergal showed us how to program our robots to go forwards and backwards.Then he set us a series of challenges. He showed us how to turn and rotate the robot. After that he put down a maze mat and we had to program our robots to go around the maze mat. It was quite difficult!! We had a great day.
