They had great fun trying to separate out the different materials they'd been given.

The only rule we had was they couldn't use their hands.

Everyone in ICT club is enjoying building and programming the Lego Mindstorms Robots.

Oliver and Olumide programmed their robot to stop when they clapped their hands! They then modified their instructions and programmed it to stop when it got to within 10 centimetres of the wall!

Well done…
