Big Bang North West 2019: Competitive Coding & Brilliant Bots with The Royal Air Force!
It was once again an honour & a pleasure to welcome our returning Platinum Sponsor, The Royal Air Force to The Big Bang North West.
Our attendees packed their stand throughout the event to code & control their Sphero robots & complete their BBNW challenge. Could you make a rivet that can hold 80kgs? They did!
It was fantastic to see so many young engineers in the making…
“As Platinum Sponsors, The Royal Air Force Youth and STEM team are proud to support the Big Bang North West. We want to inspire and influence future generations of innovators, aviators and engineers by building interest in STEM careers and increasing awareness of the Royal Air Force and potential STEM career pathways.”
