Although it was a fun and engaging event, children worked hard to put their STEM knowledge to use. Reading instructions from laptops, they were tasked with building, programming and measuring distance to engineer their Robots around a maze! To see the children problem solving and working together as part of a team to find solutions was great to observe &#8211; skills that will be hugely beneficial in the classroom and the workplace!<\/p>\n<p>Engineer\u2019s week also brought us to the launch of the Summercove National school STEM education programme. We are delighted to sponsor this long-term Robotics initiative, where 4<sup>th<\/sup> class pupils will work weekly with Lego education Robotics and continue to gain skills and insight into the world of STEM. Following on from the taster of our initial workshop energy levels were sky high as Michael Phelan on behalf of Johnson &amp; Johnson opened the launch with a Lego demonstration.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lscconnect.com\/consultantconnect\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/engineers-week-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5559\" src=\"https:\/\/lscconnect.com\/consultantconnect\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/engineers-week-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"204\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h6><em>Michael Phelan, DePuy Synthes Companies\u00a0 and Annette Keane, LSC launching the Lego education Robotics programme.<br \/>\n<\/em><em>Pictures: John Allen.\u00a0<\/em><\/h6>\n<p>At LSC we understand the importance of creating an interest in STEM from a young age.
