STEM Update – RoboCup Winners!

Three MLC School teams with students from the Junior and Senior School competed in the RoboCup Junior NSW Open in the Onstage Division. OnStage challenges teams of students to design, build, and program robots to create a performance. This performance can be in the form of a dance in time with the beat of the music, or a theatrical presentation. Teams are scored on their performance and technical interview.

We are so incredibly proud of all our teams. They put in many hours after school, during lunchtimes and in the school holidays overcoming many challenges. Congratulations to the Year 6 team whose surprise robot wedding turned robot disco dance party earnt them first place in the OnStage Primary Division and to the Year 7 team whose viral YouTube videos come to life earnt them second place in the OnStage Secondary Division.
