On Thursday 15th Amilie-Lou and Kiean represented Parkside at the STEM works, Primary Maths Challenge Final. They demonstrated exemplary behaviour, teamwork and resilience. Although they didn’t win the overall competition they did incredibly well to get in to the final, out of 3,000 pupils who took part across schools in Worcestershire!
On the day, they had to build a model robot out of Knex, that would be used to transport packages around a factory. The design criteria stated the model had to fit onto a A3 piece of paper and include mechanisms (such as pulleys and levers).
Whilst the models were being judged, Amilie-Lou and Kiean got to visit the Mazak factory to watch real life robots create, design and build. It was a very enjoyable day and the pupils were brilliant.
