Hull Science Festival

Robotic Coral Reef Cleanup

In the Coral Reef Clean-up activity, you will code a Virtual Ocean Cleaning Robot in an immersive underwater environment to collect and remove as much rubbish as possible from the floor of the Reef. Since the Robot is equipped with batteries that will only last for a few minutes, you are challenged to collect as much rubbish as you can before the batteries on the Robot are drained. The total weight of rubbish collected will be displayed, then you can improve your code and try again to collect more rubbish.

Venue: Robert Blackburn building, University of Hull

Times: 10-11am & 12-1pm

Suitable for ages 8+
