HHH Middle School Robotics Team Takes First Place

The HHH Middle School Robotics Team, under the direction of Ms. Caryn Meirs, competed at the Long Island Championship on Sunday at Longwood High School.  

There were 100 teams registered across Long Island at the beginning of the season on October 1.  Eighty of them competed at the qualifying events held February 2nd and 3rd. 

 Of those, 41 teams were represented at the championship, where 13 awards were given out.

For the entire season they won: first place in teamwork, first place in core values and first place in robot programming.
