Congratulations to all these students for their hard work and dedication. They truly enjoyed every step of the way. It was rewarding to see them working as a team, learning from each other while creating their presentations, as well as designing and programming their robots. The competition has been a great opportunity for them to learn from other participants and be judged by a panel of professionals in various aspects like the Project, Robot Design, Robot Game, and Core Values of FLL.
We want to reiterate our thanks to all the parents who supported us with the t-shirts and snacks during the preparation period, the competition day, and final club meeting. All our gratitude goes to our dear moms Jay Jay, Thon, and Cheryl. Also, a big Thank You to all the parents who took the time to attend on Saturday to support their children. Finally, all this would not have been possible if it weren’t for the unconditional support of the Middle School Administration. The kids, parents, and coaches will always be grateful for all that you have done to help us.
To end, we truly hope to see these familiar faces and any other interested students when ISB begins its preparation for the next challenge: “Animal Allies“.
