Students from across Victoria and NSW gathered at Sydenham’s Copperfield College on Saturday, November 12, for the Victorian State VEX Robotics Championships. About 50 teams, comprising secondary and primary pupils, took part in the event. Students designed and built robots that then competed against each other. The event aimed to highlight the STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) skills of students. Star Weekly photographer Joe Mastroianni captured these pictures.
