Reddford House Blue Hills is proud of its winning team of learners who competed in the Global Inspired Builds Robotics competition
Once again, Inspired Builds 2022, an inter-school technology challenge bringing together inspired learners from around the world, has seen Reddford House learners making great strides in the right direction as podium finishers with their entry.
This year’s competition, Enabling Movement, led by St Louis School of Milan, Italy, invited inspired learners from schools all over the world from ages seven to 13 to make machines that enable movement using innovative coding and creative design.
The Reddford House learners once again jumped at the opportunity to show their creativity and ingenuity through the use of machine technology in this competition which is designed to highlight the best schools’ robotics talent across 22 countries, spanning five continents.
Head of campus at Reddford House Blue Hills Zain Strydom said, “The standard of entries this year was incredibly high, with students demonstrating their knowledge and skills in this Stem competition. Our learners’ winning entry demonstrated their ability to code and intelligently design the robot to move in different directions.”
The winning Reddford team was an all-girls affair in the category 11 to 12 years of age made up of Bontle Ngoasheng, Alishia Naidoo, and Shalom Halata.
The podium winners made a robot that was superior in four categories including intelligent design, innovation, programming quality, and general appeal.
“We could not be prouder of the dedication and hard work of our robotics team members and teachers which resulted in our second international win in the Inspired Builds competition. As we continue to invest in robotics and coding projects, our students learn how to build robots and programmes, code, grasp a solid maths and science foundation, and build collaborative and leadership skills. These are all the necessary ingredients for a highly successful future career,” added Strydom.
