This donation has helped the classroom to have all kits fully operational.\r\n\r\n Since receiving the items, students have been able to work on programming for a SumoBot competition, Drag Racing, and even Tug-a-War. They even competed in our regional First Lego League competition and qualified for the State competition.\r\n\r\n Thanks so much for believing the education of the youth of America in the areas of STEM.
