investigators at UWE Bristol recently, and share their projects at a celebration event in the new School of Engineering building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pupils brought together so many great ideas and presented them to the other teams, before engaging with several STEM workshops and outreach sessions.<br>Amongst the team\u2019s wonderful projects and designs, were a LEGO sorting machine, a powerful trebuchet, and an automatically operated LEGO bridge-lift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1
