MLC School takes 1st and 2nd Place at RoboCup Junior NSW Open

On Tuesday 14 December 2021 there was a virtual presentation for the RoboCup Junior NSW Openand the two MLC School teams placed 1st and 2nd in the OnStage Division!

For the competition they were required to submit a 1-2 minute performance using robots they had designed, built and programmed and a student interview explaining the technical aspects of the performance. RoboCup Junior is open to all primary and secondary students in NSW (so its even more exciting that our two junior school teams placed 1st and 2nd).

The girls worked so hard to complete their entries for the virtual competition despite the challenges of lockdown, we are so proud of them to have come away with 1st and 2nd Place! We will receive the trophies and medals in the new year.

1st Place:
Year 6 Team – ‘Dare to be Robots’ (the girls named the teams 😆)
Nicola Keast, Nectaria Constanti, Violet Le, Cheylene Leung, Isabelle Forster.
Mentor : Marie Cassar

2nd Place:
Year 5 Team – ‘The Mad Scientists’
Ada Savage, Caydence Sumantri, Ethelia Cassar, Catia Placanica, Rithika Vinoth.
