Visit to university
Students from Brisbane Water Secondary College Umina campus visited Macquarie University on Monday, September 5, as part of a careers program.
Students participated in a scavenger hunt which took them to all areas of the university as they located environmentally-sustainable initiatives such as bike racks and bush food gardens.
The Robotics Lab hosted competitions for groups of students who were asked to program Lego robots to complete challenges.
The students used calculations, graphs and computer programming to predict distances and paths the robots would travel.
Students will visit the University of Newcastle Callaghan Campus next term.
