Fifth  Class took part in  a robotics workshop in association with Analog Devices. A company called Learnit came to the school on February 20th. They split the pupils into teams of three and four. Using Lego, each team built their own robot. They learned how to use a coding system to programme their robot to move around a maze. The kids had a fantastic day and one group were selected to move on to the county finals in robotics which was held on Saturday last.  I would like to congratulate  our team who represented the school so well in the  Analog Devices Robotics Competition. They reached the quarter final stage  and we are very proud of them. Well done!!!

The aim of this hugely popular competition is to promote STEM amongst primary schools students by giving them the opportunity to design, build and program their own robots. It encourages team work, creativity and facilitates learning STEM principles in a fun environment. Year-on-year Analog Devices has expanded the competition to cater for the demand from schools wishing to participate.
