The company SMC were very kind to supply us with this workshop to help bump start our pneumatics learning which is starting next week. The children learnt that pneumatics are a way of powering machinery through the use of pressurised air. They had the opportunity to move along on machinery that would be used on a production line, observe a picking and packing machine, use air to raise their peers on a platform and use robotic arms to try and pick up various objects. This has been a great learning process for them and a fantastic way to get the children excited about pneumatics and possibly a future interest in engineering! Please ask your children about their exciting day and what they learnt.
