EESW STEM Cymru First Lego League Regional Finals 2023
The first of this season’s EESW STEM Cymru First Lego League Regional Finals took place on 3rd February 2023 at Christ the Word Catholic School in Denbighshire. Just a couple of days after the first EESW FLL event of the season in North Wales, EESW STEM Cymru hosted the First Lego League South West Wales event, at The National Waterfront Museum Swansea on 7th February 2023.
Schools in North Wales were supported by EESW in the run up to the event and it was impressive to see the standard of work being presented by both Primary and Secondary Schools. The judges attending the event were equally impressed, with levels of design, innovation, and coding, improving year on year!
