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. It recognizes teams that demonstrate respect and helpfulness toward others, even while competing fiercely on the field, embodying the concept of cooperation– cooperation and competition together. 

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