Middle School Lego Robotics ResultsWe are still beaming with pride with how well our Robotics Team performed at the World Championship in Detroit! Our team scored in the top 25 in the world for Robot Performance and received high marks for their research project and core values. More importantly, their trip to Detroit was an opportunity to share ideas and problem-solve with robotics teams from around the globe. Special bonds were formed with the teams from Spain, London and Scotland. Next year's FLL Robotics competition theme is SPACE. St M has already made arrangements for a fall field trip to meet with two experts at the Air and Space Museum (Dulles location) in order brainstorm research project ideas.
