Robo Challenge

Members of the Jessop Primary School Digital Leaders club took part in the IBM Robo Challenge Event on Saturday 12th March 2016 to demonstrate their programming skills of an NXT Robot.

Setting off early on a foggy Saturday morning in trepidation of the day ahead; nerves were quelled as experienced members informed the ‘newbies’ of what to expect. Throughout the day the children took part in numerous activities, tasks and challenges that enabled them to demonstrate their programming dexterity and imagination.

It was a closely fought competition with Jessop managing to place 4th for the best-dressed Robot and reaching the semi-finals of the drag race.

Well done to all those who took part - and a special congratulations to Aliyah for winning the Human Bingo, a networking & information gathering challenge.

All of the children enjoyed the day immensely and learned lots from the experience.
