Pupils of the Braidhurst High school robotics club had a visit from two lecturers from New Collage Lanarkshire, namely, Michael McGuire and Lisa Richardson, who were invited to deliver a master class on Vex robotics virtual programming.

The study of robotics inherently encompasses all facets of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). When students learn through exploration it increases motivation and desire to succeed. The club has been running for three years and now has pupils from S1 to S6. The pupils have been working hard to get their robots ready for the regional competition that will be held in the college campus next year. They will compete against other schools in North Lanarkshire.

Mr Hussain, the teacher who runs the club commented “ I am very grateful that the collage has supported us to help develop new skills for the coming competition. I am also very proud to have Lisa Richardson mentor my all girl robotics team.
