A team of students has won the UK final of the IET’s FIRST LEGO League (FLL), and will now compete in the World FLL Festival in the USA. 35 teams from across the UK showcased their skills on Sunday; they were judged on their ability to design, build and programme a LEGO MINDSTORMS robot; their presentation and research skills; and how well they cooperate with each other and their competitors.

The skills gap in UK engineering has taught us a valuable lesson: there is no such thing as quick fix. British engineering will only progress through sustained collaborative efforts, consistency and a cultural shift.
