They researched a current environmental issue, created a realistic solution, and presented it to judges at the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>The teams include boys and girls in sixth through eighth grades. Many of the students on the Grade 8 team, called The B Team, have been participating in robotics camps and activities for years.
