Robotics Team Visit University of Auckland Innovation Hub
On Thursday, Lynfield College Robotics was given an awesome opportunity to present at the UoA Newmarket Innovation Precinct and to show high school Robotics to a wide group of startups and companies.
We really enjoyed our time, showing our passionate hard work and gained experience from Robotics. We were also given a tour of the precinct, where we got to see the lovely facilities that UoA has to offer, especially their amazing workshop.
Our Robotics team was grateful for this opportunity and were glad to have experienced it.
