First LEGO League Robotics Teams

As part of our continuing efforts to promote STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education, St. Louis is excited to announce that we are sponsoring three teams to compete in the 2014-2015 First Lego League (FLL). Teams participate in the Challenge by programming an autonomous robot to score points on a themed playing field, and develop a solution to a problem they have identified as guided by the FLL Core Values and the question “What is the future of learning?”

Twenty one of our students from grades 4 through 8 have been meeting weekly to collaborate on the project, designing their robot, the missions and the programming. We are grateful for the dedicated parent volunteers who are coaching the teams, working under our technology teacher Zulma Whiteford, the school’s liaison and mentor.

We are very proud of these students and commend them on their dedication in pursuit of their passions!
