A big day for our 'Ninjas of CoderDojo' team taking part in NZ Aquabots competition run by Ministry of Inspiration. We entered a 6 member team, (ages ranging from 9 to 13) and they all did us proud, starting off by giving a presentation at Garin college and then competing in multiple challenges at Richmond Aquatic Centre where they had to control the under-water robot that they built to complete under-water tasks such as manipulating and retrieving objects. Our aquabot (under-water robot) performed quite well and our team all did an excellent job completing some tasks that they had not much practice for. We learned a lot from it about how we can improve and do even better and we are already making plans for a return next year! Our youngest team member, Finn (9yrs), put together a web page documenting the team and the project - theninjasofcoderdojo.tk. A big thanks to Nathalie Lacaze Campbell for organising CoderDojo's participation in this awesome event!
Registration for term 4 now open.
