Adobe hosted the I-Heart-Tech Conference for 350 local students to attend workshops based on STEAM (Science, Tech, Engineering, Arts, and Math) education. In a robotics workshop, students faced several programming challenges. The final task was to have their “mBot” robot follow a curving black path. The team with the fastest robot advanced and raced other teams. The coveted prize were Fitbits for the fastest bot. Legacy students persevered and got the win! It was so fun to see how excited our students were as they adjusted the code and tested each change. We are so proud of these girls and grateful for the opportunity to expose them to the limitless possibilities ahead of them!
