Four of our students competed in the Whitsunday STEM Challenge, demonstrating the skills that they had developed throughout the term in their own lunch hours. Cody and Jesse competed in the Junior RoboCup Challenge and William and Taliah in the Drone Competition. Both teams competed well and represented Mackay SHS with pride at the competition.
Cody and Jesse did very well in their rounds, earning a place in the finals but unfortunately missed out on a podium place. The boys did very well using our Lego EV3 kits to line follow and complete some of the challenges.
William and Taliah did very well in the drone competition completing each of the challenges to a high degree. The students had some very tough competition and unfortunately did not achieve a place but their efforts were commended throughout the day by the judge and other teachers.
