Endon High School Lego team wins global award in South Korea

A group of teenagers have won an international award while representing the UK at a Lego robotics competition.

Malachi, Owen, Owen, James and Harry – Year 10 students at Endon High School in Staffordshire – won the First Lego League UK national final in April in order to secure a place in the global final in South Korea.

The team, called End-Tech, had to raise £25,000 in order to attend the competition.

They designed and built their own Lego robot, and went on to win the International Excellence in Engineering Award.

“As a group, to all of us it means a lot,” Owen said, flying across the world to compete in this competition.

“To come back with any award would be impressive, but this award is one that we really wanted.”

The group’s other Owen said it was “pretty intense” competing against some of the best teams in the world, and was “a lot of pressure”.
