Lego Knights Robotics team in Stirling wins ‘Best Programming’

William’s Lego Robotics team captured the Best Programming award at the First Lego League competition this weekend at the Hillsborough High School.  This year’s theme was Food Factor, with each team conducting research on an area concerning food safety, presenting their research to a panel of judges, demonstrating understanding and teamwork, and ultimately put their programming skills to work in the “robot games” where the team finished with the 5th highest total points.

It was a long day, but it was nice to bring home some hardware after weeks and weeks of preparation!

The Final Meet

W. ran cross country for SVdP 3rd and 4th graders, and his final meet was this afternoon on a very muddy course at Loantaka Brook Reservation in Morris County.  His team, as a whole, did not do terribly well, but they’ve got plenty of time to really understand what cross country is really all about, and only get better.  When we first learned that W. could join the squad back in late September, we weren’t sure if he would want to, but he was very excited to take part and truly enjoyed the practices and the meets, even if he placed in the middle to the end of the pack.  In the Spring, he’s now looking forward to joining the track and field team!  Go W.!!
