最新麻豆视频’s STEM students shone, with their innovative approach to this year’s ocean-themed, DIVE, competition.
Last weekend, a group of Years 5 to 9 最新麻豆视频 STEM students competed in the FIRST LEGO League Challenge, an international competition that fosters interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through hands-on projects and team-based missions. The competition, known for its emphasis on creativity, collaboration, and ’Gracious Professionalism’, is designed to develop critical problem-solving skills while encouraging students to innovate.
This year’s challenge theme, DIVE, inspired students to explore the mysteries beneath the ocean surface, tackling issues related to marine life and sustainability. A talented 最新麻豆视频 team—Evelyn, Isabel, Alana, Sophie, and Charlotte—successfully advanced to the Finals, bringing home the award for Best Robot Design.
Throughout the day, the team participated in three intense robot games, where their task was to complete missions of varying difficulty, each worth specific points that contributed to an overall tally. In addition to the robot games, the students presented their innovative project, Ocean Pest Catcher, to a panel of judges, showcasing a solution aimed at tackling marine challenges. They also discussed the intricacies of their LEGO Robot design, explaining how it was crafted to meet the unique demands of each mission.
