Highlights from Granite’s FIRST LEGO League Robot Event

February 2016Josh Whiting

The Granite School District FIRST LEGO League qualifying tournament was held on January 16, 2016 at Granger High School. Granite School District’s Educational Technology Department sponsors 30 teams in the First Lego League. We had a tremendous amount of fun, and learned a lot this year!

  • Over 280 student participants attended
  • supported by over 35 coaches and assistant coaches…
  • and 50 volunteers!

The students were excited to see approximately 500 parents attend to watch their LEGO Robots compete. In addition to competing in the robot games, the teams also explained their robot designs, presented an innovative product to address the issue of Trash, and solved a problem as a team during judging sessions.
