The Robotic 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 Curricula for England and Scotland.
Ask - Imagine - Create
Each challenge has 2 versions- one for ages 7-11 & 11-14 yrs
Ready Set Robotics are 2 introductory sessions that springboards into each of the EngEd Challenges.
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 endorsed challenge.
Using electronics and microcontrollers, learners create robots to navigate and investigate mysterious places.
