My Project

My students are enthusiastic about learning and applying new technology. My team of 7th graders have become skilled at coding Lego robots and want the chance to participate in the First Lego League Competition. This STEM Challenge involves elaborate Lego builds and a 4' x 8' game board. In my math classroom, there is no safe space to store the competition mat and materials.

My brilliant future engineers need a place to setup and practice running the robot through crucial missions.

This storage table is the perfect size and would provide them (and future teams) with everything required to fully engage in this exciting tournament.
