Robotics Teams Finish Season Strong
By Janna Garofolo
GSA was well-represented
at the recent Central Texas Junior First Lego League (JFLL) Expo on January 10. Along with 23 other teams from the Central Texas area, the three GSA teams demonstrated their hard work and creativity with a poster and Lego model.
The girls were all extremely proud of their work and enjoyed the opportunity to meet other JFLL teams and learn about their projects. Here are the awards received by each team and some specific comments from the reviewers:
