But the girls have been working hard before and after school to prepare for the upcoming November 10th competition and we thought it would be good for them to experience what the actual competition would look like. So we registered for the practice.
I was not able to attend the event and was nervous all day thinking about the girls and the coaches. I was so excited when I got the results. The girls had not only shown up, they had shown what they were capable of!
Our two teams received 1st place in robot design and 1st place in project, as well as 2nd and 3rd place for total overall points.
At the next after school practice, I asked the girls how they were feeling. Were they confident about the upcoming November competition? The responses from the girls was great, although they are still nervous. They feel like they have a long way to go and a lot of work to do.
However, I encouraged them to be in the moment and celebrate the work they have done so far and then get to work! The future is BRIGHT!
