Robotics

In the preparation for the 2019 Innovedex Robot Competition in August, Year 9 started preparing Arduino hardware and software to use in the workshops that form part of the competition. They also assembled the Makeblock mBot, a STEAM education robot for beginners and Astrobot, Jimu robot from UBTECH.   Robotics is of world wide importance and a key component of modern manufacturing.  Year 10  will be learning of the importance of robotics in both IGCSE ICT and IGCSE Business Studies courses this year and the competition, which takes place the weekend before school restarts for the 2019 - 2020 academic year, on Saturday 17 August and Sunday 18 August will support their learning in these areas as well as being a valuable experience in their own right.
