In 2017, GLI SWE and Caterpillar sponsored Hershey’s first all-girls Lego League. This 5th grade team had no prior experience with Lego League, but they were enthusiastic, learned quickly, and had an amazing time.
They earned the Core Values runner up award in their first competition ever! The judges noted that the girls kept a positive and energetic attitude, worked well together, included everyone, and made great progress in a short time. Katie Pierce, Jenny Blackburn and Jaime Mineart participated as mentors and agree they learned more from the girls than the girls did from mentors! It was a fun and energizing experience. If you have any interest in participating in the Fall 2019 team, please contact Jaime Mineart. You can participate as much or as little as works for your schedule and you need no prior experience! It is a fun, low risk way to get involved in GLI SWE and give back to our community.
