Today 6 Key Stage 3 pupils were selected to represent Christ Church Academy at the prestigious international First Lego League tournament. After 6 months of hard work the pupils competed at the robot game against 20 schools from the Midlands at Newcastle College. They programmed a Lego robot to complete a variety of challenges based around renewable energy sources.

The second part of the tournament is a project presentation of their idea to solve the energy crisis. The pupils created a fantastic presentation around a charging chair which captured the kinetic energy of fidgeting children to charge devices in school and to support pupils with ADHD.

The children were fantastic representatives of the school and once again performed admirably but sadly did not make the national tournament. Well done everyone involved and good luck for next year.
