Baltimore City Public Schools issued the following announcement on Feb. 22.
A great example of strong teamwork leading to success! Good luck at the state competition, Govans Elementary School!
At Govans Elementary School in Baltimore, a group of young girls snap bricks together and attaches them to robots they program.
It’s part of the First Lego League, an international robotics competition that helps students gain first-hand experience with science, technology and math.
“This is way harder than what’s in math class, regular math class,” fifth-grader Jaylynn West said.
The after-school team is called 9 Girl Dragons, and they’re quite good: they identify and then solve complicated physical and computer programming problems.
“You’ve got to use your mind and your brain to figure out problems, figure out different solutions,” West said.
Beyond that, they’re also learning skills like teamwork.
