👋Hello Future Engineer!

Good Afternoon,

This week, students worked on challenges closely resembling the first RoboPalooza challenge. In mock competitions, they got to work on their own teams with little help from their instructors as they prepare for RoboPalooza.

This week was the students' chance to prove their movement and arm motor ability with their programming! It was exciting to see how much they've learned and how well they collaborated under competition-like conditions.
