At Kamýk Campus, we offer Lego Spike Robotics as part of enrichment sessions for students in Years 7 to 9, while at Libuš Campus, we run the Robotics Club for students in Years 10 to 12. During the sessions, students work collaboratively to design, build, and programme robots for various competitions and challenges. At each session students tackle different tasks, from constructing robots to solving complex problems.
Not only students develop technical skills in coding and engineering, but they also enhance essential soft skills such as teamwork, communication, and critical thinking. It provides a unique opportunity for students to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world challenges, preparing them for future careers, especially in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) fields.
The cherry on top: competitions play a big part of our Robotics Club experience. Students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of competitions, ranging from local events to prestigious national competitions. Each competition presents its own set of challenges, requiring students to design and programme robots to complete specific tasks - robots that can pick up small basketballs and shoot them into hoops, robots that can pick up cubes and place them in pens, and line follower robots that can navigate mazes quickly while avoiding obstacles.
This June, for the first time ever, our students from both the Libuš and Kamýk campuses will be competing at the World Robotic Olympiad. Participating in these events not only tests students' technical skills but also builds confidence, resilience, and sportsmanship.
