Carver Road Middle School to Host First Lego League Competition
In First Lego League, children are immersed in real-world science and technology challenges. Teams design their own solution to a current scientific question or problem and build autonomous LEGO robots that perform a series of missions. Through their participation, children develop valuable life skills and discover exciting career possibilities while learning that they can make a positive contribution to society.
If you would like to watch the exciting competition, stop by the school between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM. If you would like to help, contact Antoinette.Richter@gscs.org.
