🤖🦅 Big Brain Energy!

to last week’s OUSD STEM Fair at the where the Westlake Middle School Robotics Team absolutely showed up and showed out! 🏆✨

Building a robot isn't a one-person job. Westlake's brilliant young engineers broke it down section by section—front, back, sides, and internal parts—collaborating every step of the way to create a fully functional machine capable of tackling the challenge. From lifting objects to pushing through obstacles, this team proved that teamwork truly makes the dream work. 🙌💻🧱

We are so incredibly proud of their dedication, innovation, and the way they represented the Westlake Eagles! 🦅💚💛
