On Wednesday at lunchtime our VEX Robotics team had a demonstration in the gym. They showcased their excellent work preparing their robot for this year’s competition and allowed students who are not part of the team the opportunity to test their skills driving the robot.
Thursday at lunch was movie time in the engineering room. The room was open for students to come in a watch Big Hero 6 at lunch time.
Thursday afternoon the first years took part in two technology-based challenges in the sports all. First years used their school devices to complete an “Hour of Code” course on the topic of programming Artificial Intelligence. This was followed by an engineering challenge. Building the tallest tower out of spaghetti and tape.
A huge thanks to everyone who took part in our various workshops throughout the week and we are already planning bigger and better for next year.
