We were delighted to award a £100 STEM Club Bursary to Tendring Technology College in 2014 to enable them to build a sumo wrestling robot.
The funding was used by the Tendring STEM Club to purchase parts. We awarded a further £70 in 2015 to make upgrades to the robot.
Several of Tendring's robots won prizes at the 2015 Schools' Competition.
Congratulations to everyone who won an award at the 2016 Schools' Competition, which took place on Friday 1 July 2016 at Anglia Ruskin University.
