“Also on the day was our Battle of the Bots competition which saw young people design and make robots in two categories; working bots and robot models.

“We had lots of amazing entries which were judged on the day by own town mayor Abul Azad and Lee Dunn form Pitstop Youth Group.

“Prizes were kindly donated by the Observatory Science Centre, the Curiosity Box (a monthly science subscription box), and Primary Science Rescource Packs.”
