This National Science Week, The King’s School has been embracing its own Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) Week.
One aspect of our STEAM offering at King’s is our Robotics program. King’s Robotics participates in the VEX V5 Robotics Competition. A new challenge is introduced each year that features specific tasks and objectives that the robots must complete. Teams work together to brainstorm, design and iterate on their robots, often using principles of engineering and computer science to optimise their designs for the competition. The tasks can include scoring objects, moving items to specific areas, or performing complex sequences of actions autonomously.
King’s Robotics provides our students with the opportunity to bring their skills to STEAM and apply them to solve the new game challenge alongside over 20,000 teams across over 50 countries. The program encourages students to integrate creative design with technical problem-solving in a practical environment. The competition promotes teamwork and critical thinking and inspires a passion for innovation and exploration within the STEAM disciplines.
To celebrate STEAM Week The King’s School is holding a STEAM Showcase at 5.45pm on Wednesday 14 August at The Science Centre.
