The 2020-2021 FIRST LEGO League Challenge Wyoming State Championship was the first of its kind for our state’s FIRST Robotics Program. The culminating event for the GAME CHANGERS powered by Star Wars: Force for Change season and the RePlay challenge was a remote event due to Covid-19 restrictions. Even though the teams were unable to meet face-to-face, the competition was fierce!
On Saturday, March 27th, thirty-two teams of students in grades 4th – 8th from across Wyoming participated in the virtual event which was all about sports and being active. Teams submitted videos of their robot rounds, and they were scored by event referees earlier in the week. On Saturday, event judges interviewed the teams about their Innovation Projects, Robot Design, and Core Values via an online platform. Teams were eligible for a variety of awards listed below. The tournament’s top honor, The Champion’s Award, recognized a team that embodies the FIRST LEGO League experience, by fully embracing our Core Values while achieving excellence and innovation in both the Robot Game and the Innovation Project.
