• Robotics at DPS!

  Thu 17 Jan 2019
  Primary 7 pupils spent an inspiring day with representatives from Sentinus. The challenge was to use the computer to program a robot to follow a particular route. The children had to use coding skills and work together as a team. We continue to be inspired by the program that Sentinus provide for primary school pupils. Keep up the good work!
