S1 Pupils Shine at Robot Olympics: Creativity, Coding, and Teamwork on Full Display 

Over the course of three exciting days, S1 pupils took part in our Robot Olympics, a project designed to test their problem-solving, teamwork, and digital skills. This event was made possible thanks to a generous grant awarded to the Computing Science department through the Big Bang Schools Bursary, which provided pupils with access to new resources and equipment for the challenge.

From the very first session, the room was buzzing with excitement as pupils got to work building robots to navigate a set course.

Working in small teams, they tested different builds and quickly got creative with their designs. Once the robots were assembled, the focus shifted to programming. Pupils experimented with movement blocks, tweaked their code, and collaborated to solve any unexpected issues.

Throughout all sessions, the pupils were fantastic. They made significant progress in both building and coding, while also developing confidence, communication, and problem-solving skills.

A huge well done to everyone involved! The Robot Olympics was a brilliant showcase of what pupils can achieve when they collaborate and embrace a challenge. We are incredibly grateful to the Big Bang Schools Bursary for making this event possible.
