Pupils from Newton Aycliffe Schools attended a STEM (Science, Technology Engineering & Maths) event at the Oakleaf Centre recently.
Pupils enjoyed a range of activities and gadgets linked to using technology, including robots and underwater vehicles, to support their understanding of new technology.
Asha Hunter from Aycliffe Village Primary School entered a competition to guess how long it took to actually manufacture one of these robots. Her estimate of 18 hours was the closest to the actual time of manufacture of 18 hours and 45 minutes.
Mr Tom Dower, Head of the new University Technical College in Aycliffe, came to Aycliffe Village Primary school recently to present Asha with her prize – a model robot!
