Bloomfield Hills High Hosts Lego League State Championships

The FIRST Lego League Michigan state championships will take place this weekend at Bloomfield Hills High School. Forty-eight FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Lego League teams from southeastern Michigan will compete. Bloomfield Hills Schools has two teams fighting it out for the title: The Motor City Maniacs from Bloomfield Hills Middle School and G.E.K.O.T. from East Hills Middle School.
