Putting on their thinking caps

WINNERS ALREADY—A robotics team known as the "Flaming Brains" from Sycamore Canyon Middle School finished first overall in a recent competition, hosted by the Lego Group, called FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology). The winning team included Courtney Brousseau, Evan Borchardt, Zack Warner, Ryan Sandstrom, Noah Kovalick, Colin Rice, Sarah Nelson, Kaitlin Morissette, Iain Filkins and Spencer Dietrich. All were sixth- or seventh-graders. The students were also involved in finding a solution to a community problem. Their solution earned the praise of Mayor Jacqui Irwin.
