Teaching space science using a model Lego robotic telescope

This scenario works through the process of building a model robotic telescope from Lego and then using it to teach aspects of science in the classroom.

This learning scenario brings together computer science and physics using a toy that every child can relate to. This scenario can be run in several different ways depending on how much of the equipment you set up in advance. This makes a fantastic STEM project as it allows for the collaboration of pupils working on small different tasks that when complete results in a finished project that has incorporated Maths, Science and Technology.
