We are proud to have won the following awards:

  • The FIRST Lego League Core Values Award
  • The Innovative Solution Award at FIRST Lego League In Eastern Missouri
  • We were proud to exhibit at the 2016 White House Science Fair on Wednesday, April 13.  We were interviewed by President Barack Obama who tried out our EcoGlOo! We were able to stand behind him during his press conference about the fair, our fellow student scientists and their projects. We’re really excited be six of only about 100 kids that were invited to the White House! It was broadcast live at whitehouse.gov.
