    • Many of these programs used complex code
  • Gained the respect of many FLL teams through what their performance!
  • Created a WILDLY successful blog!
    • 2,500 blog views
    • From 32 different countries
    • Learned what a blog was
    • Learned how to post to a blog
    • Learned a some fun information about the countries that viewed our blog
  • Won 4th place overall in Flint (out of 56 total teams)
