START A BIT > Learning Packages > This page
This is the last Learning Package planned in 2025. For Team A, we plan to start a little bit about the Sumo Robot that will be prepared for the Robot SM activity in April 2026. We have some breakdown topics to learn the relevant topics in classroom sessions, and will pick some potential students to join the extra activities outside, e.g. "Builders Night" focused project making as mentioned by A Bit Challenging "Robot SM". By the end of this Learning Package, we hope that the students will understand of what the Robot SM and Sumo Robot are, and have confidence to take challenges if interested.
Goals
