Rocky Hill School's FIRST LEGO League Team Advances to State Championship

Mini Mariners win Champions Award

Rocky Hill School's grade 3/4 teacher Charlie Laurent’s Mini Mariners celebrated Saturday's FIRST LEGO League Champions Award, considered the highest tournament honor. The award recognizes a team that “embodies the FIRST LEGO League experience, by fully embracing our Core Values while achieving excellence and innovation in both the Robot Game and Project.” At an official event, judges look for balanced, strong performance across all three areas. This means that all three judged sessions (Core Values, Robot Design, and Project) are weighted equally to determine the initial group of Champion’s candidates.

The Mini Mariners will now go on to the state championship in January at Roger Williams University.
