Year 7 MEGA Day at Runshaw College

On Friday 5 December, 12 Year 7 students were lucky enough to attend a STEM event held at Runshaw College. In the morning, students got creative when they had to use Micobits to control the robotic Spheros ball to navigate around the maps. Students had to use lots of different skills to help them create the correct code. Team work, problem solving and effective communication certainly helped them. Then after lunch, groups of 6 students, including Mr Spence, were tasked with several cyber cracking missions. To add to the pressure and excitement, groups were only given 2 laptops and 1 hour to complete. With time ticking away, both groups worked frantically to complete as many challenges as possible.

At the end of the action-packed day, PGHS team “Megabrains” came second! No medals but with a total of 8 teams competing, it was very happy minibus making its way back to school for the weekend.

Well done to all the girls who came along.
