Year 9 Girls Robotics Course

Between October and December, eleven girls from Year 9 participated in a coding initiative each week in Admiralty, which involved learning the coding language Python, before applying this knowledge to a short robotics course. Working in three teams, the girls applied their learning to a series of tasks, which included navigating their robots through, across, and over various obstacles whilst navigating using only the camera lens, fitted to the robot. The ‘Girls in ICT’ initiative was designed by FDM, a training institute for graduates.
