Calderstones School in South Liverpool is a melting pot of cultures, languages, and, of course, robotics. Our robotics work is led by staff from the school’s computing department, who in addition to being programming geeks have a passion for mechanical engineering. We’re all about community, offering a range of support from training sessions to 3D printing services. We’re especially keen on helping rookie teams find their footing in the exciting world of FIRST Tech Challenge UK.
We want to help grow this competition in the North West. Our team members have got so much out of this competition over the last four years, including some who have chosen STEM careers thanks to the interest that the programme kindled. We want as many young people as possible, from all different backgrounds, to have the same opportunity.

We build More Than Robots
We use robots, role models and competitions to make STEM more approachable and inclusive, empowering young people to make informed choices about their future.
