Our middle school robotics team, the Bright Sparks, took home first place at the Regional Robotics Championship after three days of intense competition. The team designed and programmed a robot capable of completing an obstacle course, sorting objects by color, and collaborating with allied robots. Coach Ms. Sofia Ramirez said, “These students showed incredible teamwork and creativity. They debugged under pressure and never gave up.” The school community celebrated with a pep rally on Friday. Next stop: the state finals in November.
