Berner Wins Award in Robotics Competition

Students from Berner Middle School showed off their professionalism and skill and took home an award at a recent Lego League Robotics tournament.

The Berner Bisons, one of two teams the school sent to the tournament,  came home with a second place award for "Gracious Professionalism."

The Bisons along with Berner’s other robotics team, the Chiefs, spent eight weeks researching and designing robots for a qualifying tournament in February and the championship tournament in March.

They took part in a teamwork activity, presented a research project, and participated in a game in which their robots completed as many challenges as possible to gain the maximum number of points. 

“It was a very busy, fun-filled experience,” said Robotics Club Advisor Matthew Swanson. Both the Bisons and the Chiefs did a great job and learned a lot about robotics and problem solving.”
