Daniel De Becker, one of the Centre's PhD students, and Dr Thomas Bamber, one of our Lecturers, visited a class of Year 4 students at Hathern Primary School on 20 November 2019 to share their knowledge and passion for engineering and robotics.
Danny and Tom spent the morning talking to the 8 year olds about intelligent automation and explained how, where and why robots are used today. They demonstrated a 3D printer to the class, whilst Nao (our humanoid robot) delighted the students with a few of his dance moves and enlightened them about where he came from and what he could do. The children were also given the opportunity to play hungry hippos with some mobile robots and to create drawings using a ground based mobile robot.
A fun time was had by all, with one of the children remarking that "this was the best morning of his life".
