Year 6 recently made the short trip across to Omagh Academy to take place in a Robotics workshop. The Robot Master (Pat) taught us how to program robot buggies to take a route safely and quickly along a track. The children worked really brilliantly in pairs in response to the challenge, which involved plenty of testing and careful calculations. The grand finale was an exciting race! After a couple of tense heats, the final race was won by Josh and Kayden, and their prize was a whole Easter Egg each - richly deserved.
Everybody thoroughly enjoyed their day out and we would like to thank Omagh Academy for inviting us to take part. The Academy pupils were really helpful too. Our next step could be designing driverless cars, but that could be a few years away just yet - thankfully!
