State Competition Preparation (Offline)

The Team did not have a chance to meet in person before the State Competition at UGA. Instead the kids got assigned dedicated homework: 

The judges' feedback outlined specific areas that needed improvement.

Innovation Project Improvements

• Innovation project did not show evidence of iterating to a better solution. The team took their energy savings project back to the classroom to ask classmates and teachers to consider changing energy savings behavior and be allowed to hang the signs.

• One team member is distributing small notes to all the students in the classroom to remind them to consider turning off the light and don't overuse heating and air conditioning.

• Innovation project did not show enough evidence of how the team picked the solution. One team member is tasked to improve the script to outline the process.

Robot Game Improvements

The team felt comfortable with their process of changing the attachments and running the robot game. They scored 305 points which was a great achievement. There are 20 potential more points the team can reach. Reaching the state level is a great achievement, and the team wants to focus on delivering a clean and strong performance.
