Our Intermediate students built robots to take part in a relay race. I loved hearing them discuss their strategies and making them come to life, including adding sensors to detect the blue line, using a large scoop and more. Brilliant work

Was lovely to be a part of Surbiton Festival again this weekend. Thanks to everyone who came out to see us on the Surbiton Business Community stand. So lovely to hang out with all the amazing local businesses and see so many faces, old and new, all excited by our LEGO models

Well that was amazing. I've been so fired up by todays training with @raisingrobots that I just taught an impromptu lesson to some kids who were restless on the train back to London. :-)

At the end I had the most lovely feedback too, that the assembly was "Excellent. The most perfect assembly seen by an outside provider, pitched at exactly the right level for our Key Stage 2 students and you had them completely engaged"

It's World Bee day today, so we've had a little fun with LEGO Bees in the garden. We also managed to get in a little shout for our favourite emergency bee remedy @BEEVIVE1, which helps tired bees get their energy back! #worldbeeday
