We are Team Alpha Geek!
We are a team of 10 students ready for a challenge! As a FIRST Lego League team, we build and code a robot to compete in a timed game. We also create an innovation project to help solve a problem. We work hard as a team and improve our skills in researching, presenting, and collaborating all while having lots of fun!
