The idea for the robotics workshop originated from a discussion between future College parent and travel agent Mei Staples and International Student Manager Deanne Gath. Director of ICT Paul Rodley and HOD Design & Technology Kevin Harris came on board and, along with Science teacher Arthur McGregor, devised and ran the programme, which took place on Thursay 27 and Friday 28 July. Participants included Year 11 students Will Hammond, James Criglington and Mark Ma, Year 9 students William Picton-Warlow, Sam Pinckney and Dominic Kerr, and Zhan Mo (Tiger) Ren, Yi Xuan (Kimi) Deng and You Jie (Jerry) Li from Dong Feng Dong Primary School in Guangzhou, China.
“It’s hands-on, you’ve got to use your brain,and it’s creative.You have to find a solution for all aspects of design,know where you’ll use all the components, build the rover,and code everything so it works theway youwant it to.” William Picton-Warlow
