Get SET Reston 4-H club finished their regional FIRST LEGO League tournament yesterday early in November.  Their all girls team (division I, under 12) took a Judges Special Recognition Award for teamwork. This is particularly notable since their primary coach was 16 years old (this July) and none of the members had prior experience with Lego League and only one of them met the 9 year old threshold to officially compete (others were 7 and 8; FLL does not hold anyone back from competing). Their teen coach received several positive comments at the tournament for the member's cohesive performance and her dedication to serving this young girl's team. She is really excited about the results, and has enjoyed building the camaraderie with the girls.

Their other teams (Division II, 12 to 14) had a great time, did well, but did not take any awards. The Div II members did an active outreach session to the Southgate Community Center, which serves a title I elementary school community, to recruit additional members for the club’s third team.
