HISD Gifted and Talented

Today was our 5th graders’ turn to compete in robotics, and the competition was incredibly close!

Presleigh Casey, Gavino Recendiz, and Kenzie Vestal earned 2nd place in the Arena Challenge — finishing just 5 points behind 1st place! Gianni Hinojosa, Mason Simon, and Hayden Stroud brought home 1st place in the Captain’s Challenge.

Every team successfully completed tasks and scored points throughout the day, making it a win all around. We are so proud of all of our students for their hard work, teamwork, and determination!

Today was a very successful competition day for 6th and 7th grade robotics! The team of Liam Hanks, Jeffery Quintanilla, and Ayden Leech-2nd place in the arena challenge; Hinlea Wright and Daniela Diaz-1st place in the captain's challenge; Ivy Powdrill, Iliana Jackson, and Elissa Resendiz-3rd place captain's challenge.
