Clarksville Elementary & Middle School Robotics team to compete at Worlds Competition!

Clarksville’s youngest competing robotics team, the Legolorians, qualified for the Worlds competition, but need help from the community to help fund their trip to Houston, Texas for the competition.

The Worlds competition is set for April and is the pinnacle of competition for 4th through 8th-grade robotics teams.

Not every region is invited every year. Before 2023, the last time Clarksville was invited was in 2020 but because of the coronavirus pandemic, they could not go.

The Legolorians had a love for tech in common and formed during the summer of 2022. They began meeting after school at Hazelwood Elementary School with students in 4th, 5th, and 7th grades.

The students said they went into the year and local competitions confident but without high expectations since it was the team’s rookie year. However, earlier in the season at a regional competition, the team won first place meaning they qualified to compete at Worlds.

Once they won, the team quickly realized they would need to find the funds for the trip to Houston for Worlds.

Most school districts help robotics teams fund their trips but because the Legolorians are run out of an elementary school and did not register with the school as a competing robotics team because they did not expect to be competitive, the team has to fund their Worlds trip on their own.
