Tuesday 15 October, 11:00am – 11.30am

An exclusive Live Lesson featuring Gladiators, Phantom and Dynamite, as they compete head-to-head in a fun design and technology lesson for primary schools.

The Live Lesson marks the launch of a new Gladiators and BBC micro:bit competition which calls on 7-11-year-olds to design a fitness gadget.

Mwaksy Mudenda and Emma-Louise Amanshia host the lesson from inside a top-secret Gladiators training camp and explore what the genius BBC micro:bit pocket-sized computer can do. 

Two teams of young designers are tasked with coming up with a micro:bit powered invention to help the Gladiators win the ultimate Live Lessons eliminator event.

Primary school children across the UK are encouraged to join in, in real-time, with a series of curriculum-linked design and technology activities.

At the end of the lesson, Phantom and Dynamite go up against each other in a tough physical challenge, but who will be crowned winner?

The lesson can also be watched on CBBC and at bbc.co.uk/teach where teaching resources to accompany the Live Lesson will also be available.
