Next Jump - Netley Robotics Competition 2018
For the past few months, Next Jumpers have been teaching bright young minds at Netley Primary School how to code, using Lego Mindstorm robots. It’s been an amazing journey watching our young friends grow and learn, helping each other to control the robots and direct them in a variety of tasks. They began with no experience, but quickly picked up on learning how to make the robots do just what they wanted, using motion and colour sensors to command where the machines went and how they responded.
We’re inspired and proud by what this partnership between ourselves and Netley has blossomed into. We can’t wait to see what happens next and how the program grows! The Adopt a School program is part of Next Jump’s broader Better You giving back platform. Our intent is to create a movement that will inspire other corporations to adopt schools and create a private/public partnership unseen in education to-date. Overall, Next Jump’s mission is to change the world – if the children at these schools get inspired by their own potential believe they will grow to give back and help to build better communities, too.
Better Me + Better You = Better Us
