Well, it’s a bit after the fact, due to how busy we’ve been lately, but we’re very pleased to announce that we were lucky enough to win the competition for start up funding that we entered earlier this year!

Thank you so much to everyone that voted for us. What this means is that we now have the money to continue developing our robot kit, and producing educational materials to help teachers to teach robot programming in schools. Specifically, we’ll be developing some lesson plans for teaching robotics, and will hopefully be piloting these in a local school or college sometime before the end of the year.

The Jisc funding is delivered as part of a 6 month program, and so we hope to have the final version of the teaching materials ready around the end of January 2016. We’ll try to post a draft version sometime before that though for comments and feedback.
