BRENHAM CSI TEAMS ADVANCE TO CENTRAL TEXAS FIRST LEGO LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP
Several Brenham ISD youth will soon travel to Austin to compete in a statewide LEGO tournament.
The 2019-20 Central Texas FIRST LEGO League Qualifier event was held Saturday at Sam Rayburn Intermediate School in Bryan. Of the 36 competing teams, the top eight advanced to the Central Texas FIRST LEGO League Championship.
Three of the four Brenham ISD Challenging Scientific Investigations (CSI) teams advanced, and will be competing in Austin on March 7th.
The Stabilizers placed third in the Robot Game, 7-Uppers placed fourth, High Rollers placed fifth, and Cloud Scrapers placed eighth. The Stabilizers also received a trophy for third place Overall Champions, while Team High Rollers received a trophy for third place Core Values.
Brenham CSI is a Brenham ISD gifted and talented initiative that provides an opportunity for 2nd through 6th grade students to explore science and technology as they read, write, solve problems, conduct experiments, and apply science to their daily lives.
Each year, the 6th grade students compete in FIRST LEGO League, with this year’s theme being “City Shaper”. Teams are judged in four different areas in the competition: Core Values, Project, Robot Design, and Robot Game.
These teams are led by CSI teachers Jennifer Ebel and Kristi Felder.
AWESOME!! Congratulations and Good Luck to all.
