Huge congratulations to our team who picked up third place in today's STEM Challenge final at @GUH_News. Big thanks to everyone who organised it we had a blast! @StNinians_Trips

The competition has begun! Our team are currently building, coding and branding their ROV. So far so good 🤖

We are delighted to once again be competing in the STEM challenge hosted by Global Underwater Hub in Aberdeen. Today our team got a fantastic tour of the facilities at Fargo and tomorrow we'll take what we've learnt to the final. Wish us luck! @StNinians_Trips

It's all coming together. @SmallpeiceTrust @GUH_News @stninianshigh
