Extracurriculars

We meet Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9/10 - 11/8 2024

The GOTR program focuses on the whole person, mind, body and social connection. 

With adult coaches to guide them, FIRST LEGO League teams apply science, engineering, and math concepts, plus a big dose of imagination, to develop solutions to real-world challenges. They also design, build and program LEGO MINDSTORMS-based robots to perform autonomous "missions" on a playing field. Along the way, they develop critical thinking, team--building, and presentation skills.
