Nova Pioneer students from our Tatu City Girls Secondary School campus recently took part in the Annual Computer and Robotics Fair. Our young Novaneers showed up and showed off bringing back three big victories.
A platform for techies
In 2017, the Alliance High School ICT club launched its Annual Computer and Robotics Fair. The event is aimed creating a platform for, and bring together, high school students who are passionate about tech. Young techies come together to share solutions around various social problems using technology.
A roaring success
The 2nd annual computer and robotics fair was held on 25 May 2019. Teams from different schools registered their projects by submitting a pitch video on YouTube and sharing the link with the event organizers.
The categories of the projects were:
- Software (Python, Visual Basic)
- App development (Android, iOS, Windows)
- Hardware (Robotics, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Intel)
- Web technologies
Celebrating our wins
At the fair, the student groups gave a 3-minute pitch to industry experts within their categories. Our young ladies were quite the champions this year, bringing back three big victories! They swept trophies for:
- Third best school in the competition.
- Best girls school in computing and robotics.
- Best software project – second place.
We have celebrated lots of wins in tech this year and this is a testament to the hard work and creativity our girls have put in to ensure they are using their knowledge and access to technology to better our society
