Think Award Winner
UK-016 20137, Tech Turtles, Cheadle Hulme High School

“The judges saw evidence of some truly excellent elements of technical problem-solving; both prior to and during the competition. A key skill of an engineer is to generate a concept and develop that into a functional article. As such, the Think Award decision was based on an outstanding element of engineering practice, recognising a team that built a mathematical model and developed it into code implemented to control their robot.”
