30 Days Lost in Space

This Term, as part of Wednesday afternoon activities, 10  budding computing pupils from the 2nd year to Lower Sixth have become stranded 30 metres underwater on an alien planet.

The group are taking part in 30 days lost in space, a computer programming course enabling pupils to improve their coding and circuit-building skills.

Their challenge is to problem-solve their way off the planet and return home by coding and wiring their own Arduino Uno with a kit of electronic components. Along the way, they are given other challenges to complete, and so far, they have made great progress, completing between 4 and 11 missions out of the 30 on the course.
