It's been AMAZING to set up the UK's first robotics competition for girls 🤖💪👩‍🔬🏆

Really proud of their achievements - most of them were completely new to building bots! Congrats to teams from @arkschools.bsky.social, @deptfordgreen.bsky.social and more!

Who's in for next year?!
Forty girls from local schools came together to battle it out in the Girls Robotics Challenge finale! 🦾

After months of building with sustainable materials, these future engineers showcased their skills.
