Edify’s Win-A-Lab competition provides an opportunity for teachers and academics to teach their subjects and curriculum across mobile, desktop and VR platforms. Entrants were invited to submit a short proposal for a teaching idea, and Edify collaborated with shortlisted entrants to help them create a final funding pitch for a virtual lesson. 

B-made’s proposal for a robotics sandbox was selected from circa 150 proposals to be funded and developed into a fully-featured learning experience. The sandbox will be a virtual environment in which to explore the applications of industrial robotics to construction.

B-made intends that its VR experience will facilitate remote learning by complementing existing inductions, and by enabling large-scale demonstrations of advanced processes in a tutor-led mode. The tool will integrate with existing software in order to become a virtual space for experimentation and design development. 

The proposal was developed as a collaborative effort between Martyn Carter (3D Printing Manger), Pradeep Devadass (Teaching Fellow, Robotics), David Shanks (Project Manager) and Ben Spong (Teaching Fellow).Ìý
