You are warmly invited to attend the KS5 Robotics Sprint Finals at RAICo1, Whitehaven on Wednesday 3rd June 2026, from 12:00pm – 2:30pm.
Over the past six weeks, students age 16 and 17 have been working intensively on a robotics brief inspired by a real-world nuclear scenario, designing, building and programming their own robotic solutions. Supported by industry volunteers, the students have applied engineering thinking, coding skills and teamwork to tackle the challenge.
At the finals, you will have the opportunity to:
Watch student presentations showcasing their ideas, design process and learning
See live demonstrations of the robots they have built and programmed
Hear about the skills and problem-solving approaches the teams developed throughout the sprint
Celebrate the creativity, innovation and dedication of the next generation of engineers and technologists
This is a fantastic opportunity to see first-hand the impressive work students have undertaken and the impact of industry engagement in inspiring future talent.
