At a Lego robotics competition in Oshawa, the Hammerheads, a team from Ron Joyce Children's Healthcare, showcased exceptional talent and teamwork, winning several trophies. Unique in their participation from a children's hospital, these young competitors learned valuable lessons in perseverance and problem-solving while building their robot. Volunteer coach Mike Berube emphasized the importance of trial and error in developing resilience. Team member Oliver Knight highlighted the sense of community and joy shared during practices, reflecting the positive impact of teamwork. The competition aimed to challenge students to create robots that address real-world problems.
They did exceptional; everyone's extremely proud of them right now... they learn perseverance, they learn trial and error, they learn how to engineer their environments.
When I come to [practices], I have a sense of community and my friends are here. So it's like we're screwing up, we're messing up together, we're laughing and enjoying everything.
The participating groups were tasked with creating a Lego robot that could 'attempt to solve real-world problems,' according to the event's website.
Hammerheads robotics team members demonstrated resilience and teamwork, which were key to their success at the First Lego League Provincial Championship.
