We’re Heading to the FIRST LEGO League National Finals!
On Saturday, February 8, 2025, our school hosted the regional round of the FIRST LEGO League robotics building and programming competition. Nearly 200 children from Trnava and the surrounding areas participated.
FIRST LEGO League is an international program that encourages children's and youth's interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) through fun and hands-on activities. Each FLL season focuses on a current theme that reflects real-world challenges.
SZŠ BESST was represented by two teams in the Challenge category under the leadership of our Lego Engineering teacher, Mgr. Ľuboš Gregor.
The younger students from 4th grade, part of the team IT-PRO-BESST Oceania, participated in the tournament for the first time, showing great enthusiasm, effort, and courage. They received the "Rising Star Award", which is given to teams expected to achieve great things in the future. Despite competing against older and more experienced participants, they performed exceptionally well.
The older students from IT-PRO-BESST Sepia secured 1st place overall, earning a spot in the national finals. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for them!
The second place overall was taken by the team Robot Sapiens from Ludanice.
A huge thank you to all of the volunteers who helped us organize such a successful tournament. We look forward to future editions!
