Our team shirts show our research topics. LorcTech chose pedestrian safety, and recommends using interactive bollard barriers. Orcabots researched playground swings for kids in wheel chairs. Way to go on these IMPORTANT topics! @LorcaElementary @cs4allcps #CSforAll

So proud of the Orcabots!! Our robotics team had a great day at the FIRST Lego League State Competition. We enjoyed "coopertition" (cooperation + competition) with other teams and scored a new personal best! @LorcaElementary
