The LigerBots will again host the Newton Qualifier, a FIRST LEGO League robotics competition for Massachusetts students in Grades 4-8 on Saturday, November 18, 8AM-4PM, at Newton North HS. It’s free and open to the public. The theme of this year’s competition is Masterpiece. Teams will compete using LEGO robots they have designed, built, and programmed to perform complex tasks. The public may also view the teams’ displays of their solutions to real-world problems related to the urban-design theme. There will also be hands-on STEM activities for kids, and the LigerBots’ First Robotics Competition robot will be on display.

The next FLL competition hosted by the LigerBots will be Massachusetts FLL Championship Tournament on December 16 at Newton North HS.
