Elementary students showed off their STEM skills by building and programming Legos to do certain tasks.

The First Lego League challenge was held today, where fourth and fifth grade students built their own robots.

Students from Kennedy and Freedom Elementary gathered to show off their engineering and technology passion.

Each school had three teams that participated in a three round robotic challenge.

This program exposes students to possible career paths along with other learning opportunities

“Students are working together as teams to take their challenge. They have some tasks that they have to do accomplish and work together. They use Lego’s to creatively build a robot, to accomplish those challenges,” says Director of CTE Consortium, Denise Jonas.

But for one team, distance was a bigger challenge than building the robot.
