Students at Vere Technical High School in Clarendon have developed a solar-powered robot to assist small farmers with watering and fertilising their crops. The robot, designed by fourth form student John Simpson and his four-member team, was the 2019 winner of the Katalyxt Youth Innovators Workshop and Competition, which was mounted at The Knutsford Court Hotel on May 9.
