Overview
Take STEM beyond the classroom with a hands-on, football-themed experience at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Percy House, the home of Spurs in the Community.
Using specialist STEM equipment, pupils will explore how science, technology, engineering and maths are used in football and elite sport.
Up to 30 pupils can take part over half a day. They’ll split into 2 groups and rotate through 2 of the following interactive STEM workshops:
Sphero® Indi – Coding with Colours: pupils explore coding through colour, creating sequences and instructions to control Sphero Indi. Along the way, they develop computational thinking and problem-solving skills
Sphero® BOLT – Tiki Taka: pupils programme Sphero BOLT to navigate a football pitch. They plan, test and improve their code to complete the challenge
Ozobot® Evo – Football Analyst: pupils explore coding and sequencing using Ozobot Evo and Colour Codes. They then put their skills into practice in a football-themed analyst challenge
Programmed to Score – LEGO® SPIKE™: pupils design, build and code an automated goal-scoring machine. They test their creations and put their engineering and programming skills into practice
After the experience, teachers support their pupils to design and illustrate an invention to improve football, then enter it into a competition to win Spurs merchandise.
