Latest Robotics News

At Greig City Academy, we are proud to have a vibrant and thriving Robotics Club, with over eight dynamic teams competing in prestigious competitions like the VEX IQ Rapid Relay and VEX V5 High Stakes. Our students are passionate about engineering and technology, and this year, we’re expanding our outreach programme to offer primary school students the chance to experience the excitement of Robotics first-hand. Through engaging workshops and hands-on challenges, young learners can gain valuable skills in problem-solving, teamwork and coding, all while having fun! We invite schools interested in joining us to contact Mr Williams, our STEM Coordinator, for more details.

Parents, if your child is excited about Robotics and wants to explore this fascinating field, we welcome you to join us for some robotics challenges. Whether it’s as part of our outreach programme or a chance to try something new, we’d love to see more young minds getting involved. To find out more or to arrange a visit, please email Mr Williams.
