First Lego League Competition - Shorewood Intermediate School Students Present Ideas for Capitol and Oakland Intersection
SIS students, under the direction of their coach, SHS/SIS Science teacher, Julie Cabannis, studied the Oakland and Capitol intersection and presented their findings to a panel of judges at the First Lego League Competition, where they also completed an impromptu drill with robots that move, bend, flip and rotate without help from their programmer. At the end of the event, the SIS Mindstormers had tied for 7th place overall of 23 teams. They also won the Gracious Professionalism award for working as a team and being respectful of other teams and for demonstrating high quality of work and knowledge. Congratulations Mindstormers!
