• EKO Robotics Challenge

  Thu 21 Nov 2024

  This week, four of our classes took part in the incredible EKO Robotics Challenge delivered by Hyett Education!
  
  Using LEGO Scratch sets and the linked app, the children worked together to build and code robots. Throughout the workshop, they showcased fantastic teamwork, creative thinking, and problem-solving skills while developing their coding and cyber knowledge.
  
  It was fantastic to see the enthusiasm and determination across the classes as they explored the world of robotics! This experience aimed to inspire a greater love for STEM subjects, and we’re sure many of our students have discovered new passions.

   

  Well done to everyone involved – our future engineers and coders are off to a great start!
