Building the robot is one thing, however making it move, completing obstacles, and finish courses is a whole different task. Codes need to be written, directions need to be given to allow the robot to understand how to perform on the “grid”. This is a great opprotunity for students of all ages to be given a hands on approach into the world of Legos, Robotics, and Code Writing. The Lego League competes throughout the year at several events, most of them held at the Liberty Science Center against other schools from around the state even the East Coast of the Country. It is a great accomplishment and opprotunity for these students to be able to take part in this wonderful extra curricular activity. Pictured above are some of our students showing off their robotic and coding skills and the capabilities this pro
