Middle School Hosts Lego League Tournament
The Middle School hosted the First Lego League Qualifying Tournament for the South Florida Region on Sunday, January 22. Benjamin students took home best Project at the event. The team competed against thirteen other schools for four seats in the regional tournament. The team, led by teacher Gabriele St. Martin competed in three challenges: the Robot Game, the Project and Core Values. The challenges included programing a robot using Lego Mindstorms technology to autonomously drive on a themed playing field and researching a real-world problem and developing a solution.
“Our students learned a lot this year and for them to be awarded best Project as a first year team is quite an accomplishment,” St. Martin said of the middle school team.
The tournament is intended to develop critical thinking and team-building skills, while implementing STEM education.
