Current Announcements
Congrats to team McKinley Lego Lions on winning the NYC First Lego League qualifier competition and advancing to the Semifinals which will take place at the end of this month!
The Lions have been working on building and coding this project since October, staying after school 7 hours a week including Saturdays! They started off the robot competition strong, coming in first place during rounds 1 and 2. They ended up winning the silver ticket with a whopping total of 260 points! During the presentation portion of the competition, the Lions received an extra trophy for their efficient and unique mechanical design of their robot. Let’s cheer the Lions on for the Semifinals!!!
