Congratulations to Adams Lego Inc, Plymouth Pioneer Programmers, Siebert Bulldog Builders and Woodcrest Circuit Breakers who continued their season at the State Championship in Mason, MI. The Siebert Bulldog Builders won 3rd place for their Innovation project, Berm House. And, the Plymouth Pioneer Programmers were excited to score their highest robot run and place 10th in the robot game. All of the teams enjoyed competing with and meeting other Michigan teams from around the state.

All of our teams are grateful for their sponsors, coaches, parents, volunteers at FIRST, and Midland Public Schools for making this amazing experience available. The teams were all excited to come back from their State Championships and close out their regular season by presenting at the MPS Board of Education meeting in December. Communication for joining a team for the 2023-24 season will come out this spring!
