LEGO Robotics

Competition

Currently, GS-West is preparing teams of Girl Scouts to compete in the First LEGO League Robotic Competition within the state of Oklahoma. If teams advance from the state level they will get the opportunity to compete at the regional and national level. More information is available at the FIRST Lego League web site. This is a great way for girls to come together as a team and to develop their skills in an engineering and mathematical capacity. If this is something you are interested in, please contact the council at 405-528-4475 or info@gswestok.org.
