Spicewood Students Place at the Central Texas FLL Regional Championship
Congratulations to the First Lego League Challenge team "The Shooting Stars" comprising of 4th grade Spicewood Elementary students (Aanya S., Antara S., Asmi G., Lasya N. and Sriya A.). They won the 2nd Place Robot Performance Award at the Central Texas FLL Regional Championship concluded on April 25, 2021.
The team competed against 42 teams in the Central Texas Area with students ranging from 4th graders to 8th graders. In addition to designing and programming a robot to compete in the robot matches, the team came up with an innovative solution for this year's research project challenge, identifying ways to keep their community active. They came up with an amazing solution to set up sports libraries in the local communities. The team demonstrated excellent core values, a high level of teamwork, spirit of friendly competition and also shared their learning with others. The team was coached by parent volunteers." Way to Go Panthers!
