In the spirit of the World Cup, 12 ‘Lodgers’ students from Berwick Lodge Primary School took on the state’s best young talent in soccer robotics.
Not to mention a dancing robot competition and rescue-robot section.
The three teams of Years 5 and 6 STEM students excelled in the RoboCup Junior Australia regional comp at Ballarat on 6 June.
The Riley Rescue team placed third, the soccer team made the semi-finals and the dance team finished second.
Robotics teacher Rob Kelly said the competition helped students understand the importance and inter-connection of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) subjects.
“The Lodgers really enjoyed the competition – despite the early start and late finish.”
The Lodgers will take part in state finals in August.
