e achieved our goal. The selected EIC students of the
WEV8 team carried out the task and took part in the First
Lego League on the first weekend of February. The competition
consisted of two main sections: Projects and Missions.

Mr ferrer
The projects they presented - including the values they have learned and
how the robot was prepared for its missions - scored some high marks,
but unluckily they did not reach the top positions. The judges were very
impressed with their scientific project, which demonstrated how people
can be compensated for their sustainable actions through the use of an app.
Additionally, the robot missions were extremely demanding this time and
they had big challenges in performing all the missions during the short time
they were given. We expect that it will be better next time in this exciting
competition, but we cannot forget that the prize is taking part - that's what
counts.
