Aveley had the opportunity to host, for two consecutive years, the regional competition of the FIRST Lego League. Twenty three amazing teams came to compete with their Lego robots and wow the judges with their innovative ideas. Students spent hundreds of hours coding, designing and building a Lego robot, as well as researching, planning and rehearsing their innovation presentation to solve real world problems.
Aveley had three teams who finished in the top seven with one of our teams doing extremely well, finishing second overall and had the opportunity to represent in the state finals where they showed great determination and skill to finish 20th out of 48 teams. It was a fantastic result, the students finished the day exhausted but thrilled with their robot’s performance.
