Rampaging Chariots Guild and Selex ES Ltd.

Delivering a coding “module” for an existing STEM initiative for S2 pupils and above already active in over 250 Scottish schools.

Rampaging Chariots is a robotic project, sponsored by Leonardo and the IEE, and is aimed at firing up the interest in young people in technology and engineering by constructing radio controlled sporting robots from a comprehensive kit. The project has been active for over 10 years and well embedded in school Young Engineers Clubs and youth organisations

Students construct their robot in teams, test it, fit their rampaging chariot with a programmable raspberry Pi and other possible modules such as a robot arm, soil sampling and chemical analysis, and then control it using radio control.

This project focuses on teaching coding in a real-time environment
