I wanted to start by thanking you so much for this grant! We had a goal to compete in the First Lego League, and this gave us the tools we needed to compete. This grant gave us the Lego models, the game board, and covered the fees, giving us everything we needed! Our happy result is that we competed in our very first Lego Challenge with First Lego League, and code our robot to complete the Step Counter Mission. We got feedback from the judges that the video of our run for that mission was one of the better ones that they had seen! Thanks to this grant, our dream became a reality!!! Additionally, we were able to purchase additional robots and kits so we can compete next season as well!

Our team is planning to purchase additional robotics kits and equipment (EV3s, expansion kits, portable table toppers, devices, and additional robots, etc). Our COVID safety plan is that most of us will meet remotely, and when meeting in-person, we will wear masks and socially distance, using hand sanitizer before and after touching any technology, and we will wipe down all technology and all students and coaches will complete a health screener and get temperature checked on arrival. Our school will benefit so much, this grant will really make robotics accessible to our students, as they cannot purchase this equipment and technology on their own. Thank you so much! We met as a team of 5, but my photo is very small in the screen shot. An additional coach was in the meeting, but is off-screen (our meeting was a hybrid of online and in-person).
