Waves of Change – Your Chance to Find out How.
Scientist turned science fiction writer Isaac Asimov, invented three laws of robotics. The first law says a robot may not injure a human being, yet war drones regularly buzz around battlefields.

Roamer is Part of PGCPS Arts Integration Programme
Project Full STEAM Ahead
Honoured as Superintendent of the year 2014 Dr Kevin Maxwell is now in charge of Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS) in Maryland USA. Dr Maxwell is a strong believer in the arts. In 2010, the Arts Education in Maryland Schools Alliance honoured his efforts to improve arts education. It is perhaps not surprise he has made arts integration as a key strand in his PGCPS policy. Add arts to STEM and you get STEAM: Science, Technology, engineering, arts and maths. Earlier this year saw the launch of a Roamer pilot project called Full STEAM Ahead. This follows up on earlier Robotic Performing Arts™ work done by Valiant. Continue reading

StrongBot Contest in British Science Week
The World’s Strongest Man competition sees people doing amazing things like carrying two large fridges over 30 m, pulling trucks or aircraft and what is the equivalent of carrying a fat man up a lot of stairs. I have to say I enjoy watching the programme. However, as an ex-crane designer I must tell them we have machines for doing that sort of stuff! Of course this inspired the StrongBot Contest which will be taken on by Year 7 and 8 Lambeth Academy Students as par of British Science Week. Continue reading
