Outwood Academy Newbold isn’t your average academy; it’s a hub of innovation right in the heart of Chesterfield. Known for their creative approach to tactics and problem-solving, they’re the go-to for technical know-how. With a strong focus on helping new teams with prep and planning, they offer a range of skills from 3D printing to programming.
Our ambition is to help spread the joys of STEM, but to also help build relations with schools and industry around the Yorkshire/Derbyshire region, as we have a lot of STEM businesses who are always looking for the next generation of innovators!
The bedrock of FIRST Tech Challenge. These experienced schools act as outreach partners, provide support to teams, serve as training and event venues – helping us maximise our impact regionally.
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.
