The moment we discovered that we’d been invited to America!

Posted 5 months ago by the Jelly Friends

 

We are a group of nine Year 6 students from CornwallUK who are taking part in the FIRST LEGO League for the second and final time with Penpol School.  As Year 6’s we’ll soon be leaving Penpol and going our separate ways to Secondary School.

For two years we’ve been working hard during our lunchtimes to build and code a LEGO Robot as well as creating an innovative jellyfish detecting wristband that lets you know if the jellyfish nearby are safe to swim with or not.  We were thrilled to learn that all our hard work has paid off and that we’ve received a special invitation to represent Great Britain in an International Competition in Massachusetts, USA!

This website will tell you all about our journey so far, as well as sharing some way that you can help support us as we travel across the Atlantic to share our project in America
