Celebrating Strichen Primary School Robotics Team

Lodged by Liam Kerr (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party) Standard Motion 29 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament celebrates the achievements of Strichen Primary School's afterschool robotics club, which is in its third year and is enabling pupils to build, drive and pre-code robots for the annual worldwide VEX competition; notes that Edinburgh is the only accessible regional qualifying event for the school, from which teams can progress to the UK Championships in Telford; further notes that the school has earned multiple awards in recent years and has successfully placed teams at the UK Championships each year, including 2026; acknowledges that the club relies entirely on fundraising to cover costs, such as £150 per team registration, around £5,000 for travel, accommodation and food for three teams attending the two-day UK Championships, and ongoing expenses for VEX IQ kits and equipment maintenance; applauds the commitment of the pupils, staff and volunteers involved in this growing STEM programme, and wishes the Strichen Primary School Robotics Team every success in its upcoming competitions.
