FIRST LEGO League team LEGO League Ladies from the Berkeley County 4-H STEM Club attended the FIRST World Championship last week in Houston, and brought home some well-deserved hardware! These outstanding students won the Coopertition Award!

The FLL (FIRST LEGO League) Coopertition Award celebrates a team that displays extraordinary enthusiasm, spirit, and teamwork, accomplishing more together than they could alone.

Congratulations LEGO League Ladies, you represented West Virginia proudly! 💙💛💙💛
