Help Send Our Robotics Teams to State!
On November 10, seven Nixa robotics teams competed with 25 other South East Missouri teams in a FIRST LEGO League qualifier. Students competed in areas of robot design, programming, research, and core values. Three of the Nixa teams will be moving onto the State championship in Camdenton Missouri where they will compete for a place in the World's Tournament in the Spring. Team 1290, The Space Innovaders, had the highest scoring robot in the robot games receiving the award for "Robot Performance". Team 1290, The Storm Dragons, was recognized for their excellent research in bringing an unlimited source of oxygen to space through plant growth. And Team 18715, The Plantettes, will be advancing to state with their strong teamwork skills. The State Championship will be held at the Camdenton High School on Saturday, December 8. Now they need your help raising money to go state! You can donate at  www.nixapublicschools.net/robotics.
