Students in grades 3–5 from nine elementary schools came together to design, build, and program robots using LEGO® Spike Essentials kits, tackling a surprise real-world challenge revealed during the opening ceremony. From coding to collaboration, our young learners rose to the occasion and impressed us all with their problem-solving skills and ingenuity.

1. Teamwork Award: NPES Brave Bot Builders

2. Coding Award: OES Brickinators

3. Innovation Award: NSES Thunderbolts
