This experience is intended to engage and stimulate interest in coding and control by using a wide range of physical control devices to which pupils may not have been previously exposed. It is intended to be engaging and fun, it is also planned to hit a number of different statements for the Computing requirements and also to allow teachers to show experience, coverage and progression.
 
The experience is planned to last for half a day and can accommodate up to 30 pupils per session. It will require a large open space such as a school hall.

The whole event is themed around the Star Wars movies, each device has a simple task and is linked to a narrative. Pupils work in groups of 3-4 and will work around the range of devices gaining as many different experiences as possible in the time allowed.
