3-Day Programme

Each day builds on the last — from beginner to farm field champion!

1
Day 1 — Meet the Spike Prime
Understand · Code · First Build · 4 Hours
👋
Welcome & Introduction to Lego Spike Prime
Meet the kit — motors, sensors, hub and how they all connect. Understand what the robot is capable of before you touch a single brick.
45 min
💻
Introduction to Coding the Spike Prime
First steps into the Spike Prime app — learn to move the robot forward, turn, stop and respond to sensors. Hands-on from minute one.
60 min
🔧
Simple Build & Mechanics
Build a basic chassis and attach the drive motors. Test your code — does it go where you tell it to?
60 min
🌾
Introduction to the Farm Field & Missions
Meet the farm challenge field for the first time. See the 4 missions: collect the eggs, herd the sheep, move the hay bales, and close the gate. Understand how scoring works.
45 min
🗣️
Debrief & Planning
Which mission will you tackle first tomorrow? Start thinking about your strategy.
30 min
💡
No experience needed at all. Day 1 is about understanding the tool before you start using it — every great engineer starts here.
2
Day 2 — Build, Extend & Attempt the Missions
Full Robot Build · Extensions · Farm Missions · 4 Hours
🔩
Build Your Full Working Robot with Extensions
Add attachments — grippers, pushers, sensors — whatever you need for your chosen missions. This is your purpose-built farm machine.
60 min
💻
Programme Your Robot for the Missions
Code specific sequences for each task — precise movements matter. A few millimetres off and the sheep won't herd!
50 min
🥚
Mission 1 & 2 — Collect the Eggs & Herd the Sheep
First runs on the field. Navigate to the egg zone and collect — then code your robot to guide the sheep into their pen. Attempt, fail, adjust, try again — that's engineering!
60 min
🌾
Mission 3 & 4 — Move the Hay Bales & Close the Gate
More complex positioning required — move the bales to the storage area, then return to close the gate. Each mission builds on the last.
50 min
🎯
Don't worry about the clock today — focus on getting each mission working. Day 3 is when the timer starts!
3
Day 3 — Run the Field!
All 4 Missions · 2.5 Minutes · Farm Champion! · 4 Hours
⚙️
Final Tune-Up & Last Practice Runs
Refine your code, tweak your attachments, run as many practice attempts as you need. This is your last chance before the clock starts.
75 min
🏁
The Big Challenge — All 4 Missions in 2.5 Minutes!
The timer starts — your robot must collect the eggs, herd the sheep, move the hay bales AND close the gate — all in 2 minutes 30 seconds. Each completed mission earns points. Every run counts!
60 min
🔁
Multiple Attempts & Improvements
Each learner gets multiple timed runs. Adjust between runs — can you improve your score? The farm field is unforgiving but every run teaches you something.
45 min
🎓
Certificate Ceremony & Farm Champion Award
Every learner receives an official DCJ Training Spike Prime certificate. Top score earns the Farm Champion trophy! 🏆
20 min
🏆
Every learner walks away having coded, built and run a real working robot through a competition field. That's a genuine STEM achievement — something to put on a CV!
