As part of the learning about the 1960s, all children in P4 at Tweedbank Primary School made a robot as part of their homework.
Teacher Lorna Stirling set the pupils a challenge: “Neil Armstrong’s challenge in the 1960s was to reach the moon. Your challenge is to make a robot.” The children rose to this creative and fun project– many of their creations played music, had flashing lights or were taller than their designer.
