NKY Regional FIRST LEGO League Robotics & Engineering Tournament results
  
  

Boone County Schools had a remarkable showing at the NKY Regional FIRST LEGO League Robotics and Engineering Tournament at NKU on Saturday.

 

Teams from across Northern KY competed in 4 categories: 1) robot design and programming, 2) robot performance, 3) project-innovative solution and creative presentation, and 4) core values-career skills such as teamwork, problem-solving and design thinking.

 

The competition, sponsored by FIRST (For Recognition and Inspiration in Science and Technology) and LEGO Ed, focuses on the key skills needed for high growth/ high pay careers.

The Ryle FTC (FIRST Tech Challenge) team and the Boone County Schools district FRC (FIRST Robotics Competition) team demonstrated their robots as well to the excited crowd of parents, community members, and students.

 

Boone County Schools had 22 FLL teams who competed in the 4th -8th grade tournament and 25 JFLL (Junior FIRST LEGO League-1st-3rd grade) teams.

 

Boone County teams earned 12 of the 21 awards!
