The skills they had to cover were: - identify lego pieces - use engineering skills to build a Merry-Go-Round out of Lego. - use programming skills to write an algorithm to control the Merry-Go-Round - use determination to solve problems and achieve. At first they were introduced to the STEM robotic kits and asked to build a basic structure. The pupils were then asked to programme a simple algorithm to make it move (clockwise and anti-clockwise), change colour, add sound and a background picture. After being shown how to use the software to build their algorithms they were challenged to build a fairground ride. This was a Merry-Go-Round. During this process they built their models, solved any problems and modified their design to make it better. The children have had a fantastic morning and definitely learned a lot. ### Stem - Lego
