Pupils from three North East primary schools will travel to the USA to compete in the largest robotics competition in the world.
Students from Bill Quay Primary School and Wardley Primary School, both in Gateshead, and Pelton Community Primary School in Pelton, County Durham, will attend the VEX Robotics World Championship in Dallas, Texas.
The three schools are among nine from the UK which will attend the event in May. Parents and students have undertaken enormous fundraising efforts in order to cover the cost of the trip.
