Homeschoolers Rocked in FIRST LEGO® League - Mississippi Championship Tournament (I meet Natalie!!!!!!!!!)
I am thrilled to pieces I finally had the opportunity to meet Natalie in person. She is just like I imagined her.
December 8th, we were at the FIRST LEGO® League - Mississippi Championship Tournament, held at the Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College (Jackson County Campus). I am pleased to announce that PEAK had two teams there from the Jackson, MS area. Natalie's Team was sneakpeak007, the other PEAK team is Techno Warriors.
The Techno Warriors are the new Mississippi Tournament Champions! The team advances to the World Festival in Atlanta, GA to compete against 84 teams from several countries in April.
SNEAK PEAK 007 earned the First Place in Robot Design trophy and were commended by the judges on their exemplary teamwork.
