This course is a series of recorded sessions from the virtual conference ‘Teaching 21st Century Skills – Robotics with Team Storm’ (March 3rd 2021).
How might robotics change the future world of work?
What skills should we be encouraging young people to develop?
How can industry and education collaborate effectively?
This event brought education and industry together to explore the answers to these questions and more.
Through a programme of panel discussions, keynotes and practical activities, we looked at how we can engage young people in robotics and engineering, how these skills can be nurtured in-school and where and interest in robotics might take you.
