It’s a great opportunity to apply stem skills to a purposeful activity. Claire Williams, Newcastle School For Girls
It was an amazing experience, I took a team of two girls to the National finals, not once have they asked where they finished, they were taken over by the experience. It didn’t matter if they first or last. Mark Parry, Elm Green School
The competition is a refreshing change from normal STEM activities, the competition element fired the pupils up to test and evaluate then to improve. Pupil of all abilities could access the competition, and everyone was on an equal footing. Richard Mansfield, Rose Hill School (Pilot Season)
an experience that will bring STEAM Education alive. It is safe and affordable for everyone to join in, it was a truly diverse and inclusive experience for us. The whole process was a challenge, but was thoroughly enjoyed, from the first build, it is an experience you will all gain new skills from, whilst having lots of fun too. Amanda Harvey, Home Educator
It is a well-resourced activity that can be ran over a lunchtime club or as a series of lessons. It stimulates the children like nothing else, allows every child to partake regardless of ability. Richard Mansfield, Rose Hill School (Season 1)
Fantastic opportunity. Well worth having a go. So much fun for the children and adults involved. We loved it and the children got so much out of it. Jodie Blincow, St, Mary’s Catholic Primary School
A highly engaging project, sufficiently challenging along with superb partnerships and expert support. Helen Brougham, Moorshouse Primary
