Jared and Tam give up hours of their own time to teach the children how to write code, in order for them to programme their robots to complete a series of challenges. The competition has stepped up over the years we have been involved. I did notice a teacher from another school making changes to her teams coding to improve their performance. Tut tut naughty adult. It is about the children, and their ability to problem solve by changing the codes so that the robot can complete a challenge within the prescribed time.
I was so impressed with the ways in which Cameron B dealt with the frustration of faulty coding and how he just kept plugging away at the possible solutions without once losing his cool. I could smell the brain cells burning.
Selwyn House hosted the competition and I must say I love the configuration of their outdoor quad as a learning and hanging out space. Anyone out there with a spare million or six?
Congratulations team and thanks whaea Maata for the ice creams.
