First Lego League Competition
On March 8th, our school’s First Lego League Club participated in the Institute of Technology and Engineering’s competition, held at St. Paul’s School.
The team of six has been diligently building and programming robots for this year’s theme, ‘Submerged.’ On the tournament day, they showcased their skills while competing against other schools and fine-tuning their coding and programming abilities.
Even though it was their first competition, the team impressed the judges with their collaboration and enthusiasm, ultimately earning a trophy for demonstrating Lego Core Values.
Events like this provide a fantastic chance to enhance coding and engineering skills, as well as essential soft skills such as problem-solving and teamwork—skills that are incredibly valuable across various STEM-related fields.
Maryam in Year 12 enjoyed the experience: ‘It was an incredible day, and we’re so proud of what we achieved. We can’t wait to take everything we’ve learned and come back even stronger next time!’
FIRST® LEGO® League Challenge is a global STEM programme for teams of young people, to encourage an interest in real world themes and develop key skills that are crucial for their future careers.
Young people work together to explore a given topic and to design, build and program an autonomous LEGO® robot to solve a series of missions.
