A 13-year-old student from St. Malachy's College in North Belfast, has successfully built a Lego robot capable of solving a Rubik's cube. The young innovator, named Ruarcc, began developing prototypes for this innovative project last year. His creation was facilitated by the launch of his school's Creative Digital Technology Hub (CDTH) in 2023.
