Our Worksop centre has been the home to a group of 52 Chinese students for the past 2 weeks. They have been taking part in English lessons, adventure activities and excursions - including a trip to Legoland. Aside from the adventures of camp life, the children also came to take part in a Robot competition organised by the Bell Robot Alliance.
The competition itself saw the children build their own Lego robots and compete in a basketball competition. Three Xplore staff were on hand to referee the competition and we were joined by the Education Manager for the First Lego League, who also provided the tables. It was an all day competition and was a huge success and a lot of fun. We hope this will be a continuous event year after year!
Following on from the competition, some of our other international students were invited to take part in a Lego basketball competition against some of the Chinese students. This again was a big success with all children enjoying the fun.
