The Robotics Challenges
Inspire real-world problem solving with ready-to-teach guides that support you every step of the way.
Each resource helps young people ask bold questions, imagine creative solutions, and design with purpose, while building teacher confidence in Design & Technology, Computing, and Science. Fully linked to the National Curriculums for England and Scotland.
Each challenge has 2 versions - one for ages 7-11 and one for 11-14 yrs.
‘Ready Set Robotics’ are 2 introductory sessions that springboard into each of the Eng Ed Challenges.
Ask - Imagine - Create
Learners take on a real-world brief, designing delivery robots that meet user needs through structured engineering thinking.

Learners explore types of motion and mechanisms as they design innovative animatronic prototypes for deep-sea exploration with this UNESCO accredited challenge.
From empathy to engineering - learners use micro:bits to design rehabilitation robots, with no prior experience needed by staff or learners.
Using electronics and microcontrollers, learners create robots to navigate and investigate mysterious places.
Learners explore how engineers design, adapt, and test UAVs and use creative problem-solving to prototype aerial solutions.
Learners design and prototype robots capable of working in extreme underground environments.
All challenges are supported by the EngEd Toolkit.
