BHS First Lego League Regional Qualifier
Burleson High School will host the largest LEGO Qualifier in the State of Texas from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday Dec. 9, 2017. There will be over 550 team participants with more than one-third of the teams comprised of BISD students who have received grant funding.
This will be a fun event for the entire family as this year’s Hydrodynamics Challenge focuses on addressing our water shortage. Students will compete in several categories, including robot games, teamwork, and problem solving.
The Elk Strutters will host their annual Christmas Craft Fair adjacent to the Qualifier, so there will be lots of fun times with hot cocoa and Santa, too!
