BTEC level 3 IT students enjoyed a 'robotics in the making activity' run by BP International.
Twenty three students were challenged to programme Lego robots at the Harrow Hill campus on Thursday 6th June.
The students formed six teams and each team had the use of a ready-made Lego robot and laptop with special software. The students were tasked to programme the robots to make basic moves, for example travelling in a square and returning to the starting point and also more complex moves. They also accomplished adding music to the robots actions.
Yarl Visuvaratnam, computing and IT lecturer, Harrow College said "the students have shown good technical abilities and have put their programming skills to good use. They have learnt to make the best of their skills and have really enjoyed the activity".
A competition was held at the end of their activity with each group showing off their robots programmed manoeuvres.
