Local MPs Iain Stewart and Ben Everitt have launched a summer competition for local school students with the well-loved Milton Keynes robots (operated by Starship Technologies).
Young people in Milton Keynes are being asked to draw their new robot inventions and describe what modern challenge or problem their robot invention will solve.
Three competition winners will have their designs printed onto Starship robots in time for the new school term in September.
Iain Stewart, the MP for Milton Keynes South, said:
“My annual Christmas Card competition shows the pool of talent and creativity that we have here in Milton Keynes.
“That is why when Starship approached me with the idea of a competition to design a new Starship robot I knew that the young artists of Milton Keynes would jump at the chance.
“I look forward to seeing the entries that come out of this competition, good luck!”
Andy Curtis, Operations Manager from Starship Technologies, added:
“Our robots enjoy the summer holidays but are always excited to get back to school and we know young people in Milton Keynes are creative, artistic and wonderfully talented so we’re asking everyone to get involved to share their own robot inventions.”
