The qualifier event consisted of four judging opportunities – research project presentation, core values, robot presentation and the robot game. This year’s theme was “Super Powered.” Throughout the competition, students were challenged with thinking about energy including where it comes from, how it’s generated and how much we use.

The Seneca Middle School team was successful in completing various missions in the robot game and worked as a team the entire day. Students look forward to competing in the next season.
