In March, a team of Ada Lovelace students took part in and won the First Lego League regional competition.

Over the May Bank holiday weekend, the same team travelled to Harrogate to take part in the National Finals.

The team did themselves so proud even though there were no prizes for Ada Lovelace this time. It was a tremendous learning curve for our students as many of the 67 teams from across the UK had taken part in the finals many times before. The skills that they will have leant, both specific and softer will stay with them, and help them on their ‘next steps’.

Thanks again to Ms Young for believing in the team and supporting them through the process and to Mr McQuaid for accompanying the students on their weekend venture.
