Engineering the future at UCS! Our Year 10 students have been putting their STEM skills into action with support from Holly, a Mechatronics student, as they work together to build and programme a robot designed to detect landmines. The team has constructed the robot and is now programming it to take on a series of exciting challenges before competing against other schools at the university. Using coils of wire and eddy current technology, the robot is able to detect hidden metal, giving students hands on experience of real world engineering and robotics. A fantastic opportunity to develop problem solving, teamwork and coding skills. We wish the team the very best of luck in the competition! #UniversityCollegiateSchool #STEM #Engineering #Robotics #FutureEngineers #Mechatronics #LearningTogether
