The Club had an excellent time at the New Mexico Natural History Museum where they participated in a New Mexico Lego League Scrimmage. The Museum is a very family friendly place, and parents had the opportunity to check out the Lego League and the rest of the attractions in a relaxed atmosphere.

Our first tournament will be on Saturday January 26th at the New Life Baptist Academy at 6900 Los Volcanes NW from 8:30 AM to 5:30PM.

We would like to thank Dr. D and all the parents for a fantastic first scrimmage, where we got to share ideas with students from schools from all over Albuquerque.

The team explaining for  the judges our core values: respect, teamwork and sportsmanship.  They also described their ideas for the next step of the competition.




A local high school brought a very cool and sophisticated robot to the scrimmage. Our team was impressed and inspired.
