Congratulations to Aiden Gross and Maddox Fickes for placing 3rd in the Carnegie Mellon Computer Science Challenge! With over 100 entries into the CS1-Unit 1 Project, this is quite an impressive accomplishment! The team worked together on over 300 lines of code using only shapes and colors to make their "Robot". A special thanks to Mrs. Luann Barron for her continued leadership of our students!
