Great job Allie!
Congratulations and Great Job to Girl Scout Troop 70301, better known as the Queen Bees, from Mary B. Martin STEM School of Cleveland. The Queen Bees competed in the FIRST Lego League (FLL) regional tournament at Hathaway Brown School in December. Their presentation caught the attention of the judges and the team was granted the Judges Award.
To their surprise, the Queen Bees were invited to advance to the FLL Ohio State Championship, which was held at the Ervin J. Nutter Center on the campus of Wright State University in Dayton! The team was nominated and invited to compete as a Wildcard Advancement Team. These teams overcame some hardship and still were able to compete at a regional tournament. The judges looked for teams that excelled in ways that surprised them, and felt they would benefit from experiencing a championship event.
36 teams from across the state designed and built Lego robots to help solve this year's challenge theme: Food Factor - Keeping Food Safe. The FLL Ohio State Championship tournament was a spectacular array of talent and ingenuity. The event encouraged team work, professionalism, imagination and lots of fun…and the Queen Bees embraced it ALL!
Cleveland Collinwood High School student Imane Blaine recited her poem Pressure about student peer pressure at the Project Love Purple America ceremony at Landerhaven on November 30, 2011.
Two young high school students, Cameron Beason and Jane Tang saw the stories on the news and knew they had to do something for all the people suffering as a result of Japan's tsunami. Beason says they didn't want to just give money; they wanted to encourage other people to donate as well. So they organized an event.
Hi, I'm Rachael. I am a fellow teenager and know how nice it is to be able to ask someone a question or just talk to someone.
If you have a question that you want to ask, I promise to keep it anonymous and to do my best to give you a good answer. I will call on my friends, family, teachers and others to try and help you out.
