Education Secretary Prioritizes Coding and Cloud Accessible Digital Tools to Improve Computer Science Provision in Schools

We at Consequential Robotics have been extremely encouraged to learn about the UK Government’s own assessment and priorities for the needs of schools and families. Read on to learn about why coding in schools is top of mind.

How can universities stimulate interest and learning in large classes with both in-person and remote participation?

How can universities stimulate interest and learning in large classes with both in-person and remote participation?

On-campus learning is key to student experience but how can this be balanced with the benefits of teaching online or to utilise the best that technology has to offer? I will answer this question here.

Why Universities are Moving to Student-Centred Blended Learning

Why Universities are Moving to Student-Centred Blended Learning

The popular demand for university education is having two observable effects.

Read on to learn more from Professor David lane as he speaks about the challenge that universities face due to the changing landscape of teaching and learning.

How can you stimulate interest in coding?

How can you stimulate interest in coding?

In the future, there will be a demand for more and more Artificial Intelligence [AI] coding to run our cities and the devices we use in our home for housework, security, homeworking and entertainment. Staring at a screen looking at line after line of code appeals to some more than others so how can you stimulate yours or your pupils' interest in coding?

Can Robots Support Social Distancing within the Home?

Can Robots Support Social Distancing within the Home?

Hear from Professor Lynne Baillie from the School of Mathematical and Computer Sciences at Heriot-Watt University, who, along with Computer Science graduate Neve Curnyn, investigated whether MiRo could assist with social distancing within the home.

Engineering a brain for MiRo - Part 2

What does a model of a brain actually look like? The answer is that they come in many, many forms. For example, some scientific groups work at a very detailed level, trying to understand how individual neurons, or groups of neurons, work to perform the functions that form the building blocks of behaviour.

Engineering a brain for MiRo - Part 1

MiRo was created to sense the world and then act on it. In this two part blog post, we are asked Consequential Robotics CTO Dr Ben Mitchinson to talk us through the origins of MIRO’s biomimetic brain.
