Technic Titans Triumph at Regional LEGO Finals
This is the second year that WMG Academy have taken part in the LEGO Challenge. This year’s theme was based on ‘Masterpiece’ looking at performance-based activities including; film, theatre, recording, stage and exhibitions and museums or other events. Our intrepid LEGO team are part of our enrichment programme and alongside their timetabled afternoon gave up considerable extra time to develop their team ideas, practical robot design, programming and presentation.
The team of 5 students comprised: Omarion Kaliba, Niall Fitzpatrick, Noah Jones, Patryk Turkowski & Zachary Kinder.
They attended the Warwick University site for the regional final with their teacher Mr Gardner. The day featured in combination with a table top challenge using their specialist robot to accumulate points on different tasks and a specialist professional presentation to the judging panel on Innovation. The team also promoted themselves with ‘giveaway’ gift badges for other competitors that were LEGO themed, (helped by Mr Islam) After a hard fought day the team amassed 250 points (last year it was 195).
The team achieved the award for best designed robot and received a LEGO trophy and BOSCH bear (Our sponsors).
Well done to the Technic Titans Team
