2024 State championship winners and World Championship qualifiers!
This is the 3rd time around for us, and we expect to make this an annual event. We started out in 2015 and had a small group that had a great time building robots with LEGO EV3 kits. Last year we had 2 camps: Beginners and Advanced to help keep the kids challenged. It was an amazing experience for the participants as well as the Camp Instructors. We have pictures that are worth a few thousand words. Go See!

The State Championship is coming up quick on the 25th of February. Wish us luck!

And despite society's immense progression, research shows that women are underrepresented in STEM fields, especially computer science and engineering [...]
