ROBOTICS Taking It to a New Level

Jonathan Nations and Bennett O’Quinn competed in the VEX IQ Robotics Mississippi Championships and won two awards. Twentysix teams from the state competed. They won a 3rd place skills ranking and the Engineering Design Award, which is based on the quality of their engineering notebook and interview score. This qualified Prep to compete in the World Championship. In late April, they traveled to Dallas to compete with the best 600 teams from over 40 countries. Through two rounds of interviews by two different judge teams, our young men ranked #1 with every judge and received extremely good comments.
