🚀 MACA students in Mr. Autrey's Robotics Class are bringing innovation to life! Today, they tested their custom-built robotic vehicles, each designed with unique forms of locomotion, to reach their goals. Using abstraction and functions in the LEGO Education app, they coded their way to success. The creativity and problem-solving on display were truly inspiring! 🤖💻 #MACARobotics #STEMInAction #FutureEngineers #MACA
