Princeton Middle School held an “Awards Certificate Signing” this morning for all of our robotics teams that won awards at the Mercer County Vex IQ county competitions which were held at Princeton High on January 27th and February 17th. Putting in many hours of hard work building, testing and refining their robots, these students have developed skills in teamwork, coding, measurement and engineering, not to mention the socialization skills that they develop while working with others at competitions.
We are very proud of all of our robotics students and all they have accomplished and are looking forward to attending the state Vex IQ robotics competition next week in Fairmont, WV! 😊
