On Tuesday, October 24, some St Francis Catholic School TECH students participated in the annual Townsville Grammar School's LEGO Robotics competition.
The group of students were presented with an unfamiliar challenge and had to use their knowledge, teamwork and problem-solving skills as well as creativity to produce a moving car which they called the Next Generation Green Machine.
This challenge involved students not only designing the car but also building it with LEGO and programming it to move.
This was the first time that St Francis participated in this competition and the students did a wonderful job coming away with a trophy for their creativity.
It was an amazing opportunity for our students to take their knowledge and apply it in a new way and an experience they thoroughly enjoyed.
