The STEAM ranks second in New Jersey and 201st in the world! Congrats!

The STEAM Team won two awards at their latest competition: a first place trophy for “robot skills” and a second place trophy for “team skills.” The robot skills part of the competition is based upon driving and coding ability. The team skills part of the competition is based upon strategy development. Randomly paired teams work together and try to earn the most points during the competition.
