Commsworld, the Scottish-based telecoms provider. is holding a poll to decide who should be the winner of its latest North Lanarkshire competition – and a £500 prize.
The company, in partnership with the charity SmartSTEMs and the council, is hosting the online poll of entries from Kier Hardie Primary School, Holy Family Primary School, St Mary’s Primary School, and Thornlie Primary School.
To choose which one is the best, you need to head to Commsworld’s own website or look out for its social media posts on Facebook, X and LinkedIn.
The poll is the result of its latest workshops organised by Commsworld and SmartSTEMs across a host of primary schools in the region. The workshops are aimed at encouraging youngsters to consider careers in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM).
Workshop co-ordinators, in order to introduce the pupils to the imaginative side of design and tech, asked them to dream up their very own Commsworld mascot. The result was an explosion of creativity, with each school coming up with their own winners.
As well as a £500 prize for the school, the winning pupil and runners-up will receive a special print of their AI-designed mascot, as well as other special prizes.
Councillor Michael McBride, Convener of Education, Children and Families at North Lanarkshire Council, said: “We’re delighted to see pupils across North Lanarkshire taking part in this exciting and creative competition. Activities like these help bring learning to life, encourage digital skills and inspire young people to think differently about technology and design. We’re grateful to Commsworld and SmartSTEMs for working with our schools and providing such a positive opportunity for our pupils.”
To vote in the free poll, head to Commsworld’s website here or go to the Commsworld page on Facebook, LinkedIn and X. The poll will be open for two weeks from today (Thursday 5th February).
