A group of talented Year 9 girls attended the Robogals workshop at Imperial College London. The session was aimed at empowering young and talented females into more STEM related careers.

 

Students received a tour of the campus and were taught how to code using very specific software to control and send commands to their robots. 

 

Fundamental principles of coding, software and electrical engineering were discussed and our students really enjoyed competing against other groups in a sumo style battle. Robots were coded to recognise each other and the boundaries of the arena but had to push rival robots out.
