St Helens College - March 2019 Newsletter

Schools from across the borough recently descended on St Helens College's STEM Centre, Technology Campus, to compete to become the ultimate Robotics Challenge Champions. All About STEM, the team behind The Big Bang Northwest, are hosting a series of heats across the Liverpool City Region, giving students a fantastic opportunity to build a VEX robot and battle it out in an exciting arena-style competition. The competition, supported by the Liverpool City Region Metro Mayor, Steve Rotheram and sponsored by CAL International, is designed to highlight the exciting range of careers within manufacturing and engineering. After impressive competition from each school, winning champions of the St Helens heat were Haydock High School. The winning school will now progress to the prestigious Grand Final taking place later in the school year, where they will compete against other heat finalists, to be crowned ‘Make It Work LCR Robot Challenge Champions 2018/2019’.
