Students from our LEGO robotics club once again showcased their great skills. In the regional round of the First Lego League, hosted right here at our school, they won first place and advanced to the national finals.
At the national finals, competing against the best teams from all over Slovakia, they achieved another outstanding success — winning 1st place in the Innovation Project category!
This year's theme was ocean exploration. Teams were challenged to identify a problem that scientists face while studying the oceans and design an innovative solution.
Our students connected via Skype-a-Scientist with marine biologist Sarah McAnulty, who introduced them to a real-world issue: cuttlefish kept in research tanks often contaminate their water when stressed, complicating the research process.
Our team responded by designing a model of an automated aquarium, equipped with sensors that monitor water quality and adjust it intelligently — helping researchers save time and improving conditions for the studied animals.
We are incredibly proud of their creativity, perseverance, and ability to tackle the real-world challenges of today's world.
