On the morning of Thursday 10th February our Year 7 children took part in a testing ‘LEGO Innovation Challenge’.
The children have been preparing for this challenge since before Christmas and it had three main parts:
- Robot Game – to build and programme a robot to perform a number of precision operations on a challenge map.
2. Innovation Project – to identify a problem in the delivery of cargo to a customer and come up with and present an innovative solution to this problem to a panel of judges.
3. Core Values – to demonstrate as a team that they cared about ‘Discovery, Innovation, Impact, Inclusion, Teamwork and Fun.’
Teams were scored on each of these capabilities and the final scores were incredibly close, showing an extremely high competition standard and real effort from the pupils involved.
