This robotics workshop is held with Lego Mindstorms EV3 robotics sets. After familiarization with the robot's sensors, the robot is built. After that an overview of programming is given and the robots are programmed for racing. Before the race time is given to test and enhance the robots' performance. The workshop for younger classes puts emphasis on robot building and familiarization with robot mechanisms. The workshop ends with a race between teams of robot builders. The workshop is held by Kadri Umbleja, a PhD student of TUT.
PARTICIPANTS: 6 to 12
TARGET AUDIENCE: 3.-7. Class. The contents of the course depend on the skill of the participants.

If you want to know how to improve indoor climate and how to come up with new and innovative solutions then use this opportunity and come take part in our ventilation lab workshop!
The workshop can effectively be integrated into a physics or biology lesson. Through the use of smoke, lights and music the ventilation lab demonstrates air movement in a room with different ventilation devices. Participants get to build their own ventilation elements and test them out in our "night club" lab!
