CLC Elementary Robotics Team Takes Top Prize
The Clear Lake City Elementary Thunderbotz Lego League Robotics Team won the
first place trophy for innovative solution in a research presentation at the
Lone Star FLL Championship Robotics Tournament held on Saturday, January
10th. They were competing against 91 other teams to win the award.
The team selected local flooding in the Clear Lake City area for their
research. Information was provided by CLCWA Director John Branch concerning
the flooding study conducted by the Water Authority and the action they took
to acquire the former Clear Lake Golf Club property for the purpose of
installing detention ponds to reduce home and street flooding.
Teacher/sponsor Kari Euker said the team researched detention ponds and how
they can be built for dual use to include recreational amenities. Team
members developed a survey and web posting to collect ideas from the
community on what youth and adults would like to see designed into the
concept.
In addition to the research, the team programmed robots to simulate the
implementation of solutions for flooding and other climate related issues.
These youth are to be commended for their initiative, desire to learn, and
contributions to make their community a better place.
