The Jefferson Elementary First LEGO League Robotics Team, the Legendary Spartans, delivered an outstanding performance at the FLL Regional Competition in Kokomo.
The team earned the Core Values Award, recognizing excellence in teamwork, collaboration, professionalism and problem-solving, according to a news release from Warsaw Community Schools.
The Core Values Award honors teams that exemplify the heart of First LEGO League by demonstrating integrity, gracious professionalism and a commitment to learning together. Judges praised the Legendary Spartans for their strong communication, inclusive teamwork and positive team culture, the release states.
Along with the Core Values recognition, the team impressed judges with their research project featuring the use of GPS and LiDAR technology to locate ancient bones beneath the surface, aligning with this year’s archaeology-themed challenge.
