Why oh why would they do such a thing I hear you cry! Well they travelled to the county seat of Essex for a very good reason. They were there to visit the studios of BBC Radio Essex and to be interviewed live on the Dave Monk Drive Time show with Ian Puckey on wheels of steel…yes I actually just wrote that!
So the real question is…did you listen to it? 8 Minutes of some of the best radio you are going to hear. Joel, Alex, Will, Talia and Joe all took turns answering questions on everything from what motivated them to get involved, through to whether they are going to grow up and be involved in the robot industry.
If you did miss it then you are in luck. Click this link and tune in about 25 mins from the end (about the 1835 point).
Following the success of the North Primary School Robot Club at the national finals of the VEX IQ Robotics competition, our team has qualified for the Vex Robotics World Championship in Kentucky.
Winning the prestigious Excellence Award is the highest award presented in the VEX IQ Challenge. It recognises the team that exemplifies overall excellence in creating a high quality robotics programme and excels in every area - a shining example of dedication, devotion, hard work and teamwork as well as all the technical elements required to impress the judges.
We are very proud of the team’s achievements and the way in which our roboteers demonstrated the ethos that is found throughout the school everyday; working hard as a team, supporting each other, demonstrating strong leadership skills and putting into practice everything they are learning.
We look forward to building on the team’s success at the world championship and are hoping to secure corporate sponsorship to allow them to take part in the event, which will be a fantastic opportunity for the team and for developing STEM activities for the whole school
