Robots Are Tops in CCISD
League City, TEXAS — Creekside, Space Center and Westbrook Intermediate Schools recently represented Clear Creek ISD at the Space City BEST (Boosting Engineering, Science and Technology) Robotics competition at Galena Park High School. All three teams consistently ranked in the top ten.
Westbrook Intermediate’s WIRED team earned second place in the BEST category, which is the highest award given in the competition consisting of the presentation, documentation and sportsmanship. The WIRED team also earned first place in the T-shirt design category. The team’s second place win in the BEST category qualifies the group to advance to the state competition at Texas Tech University in Lubbock Dec. 1 and 2.
BEST is a non-profit, volunteer organization whose mission is to inspire students to pursue careers in engineering, science, and technology through participation in a sports-like, science- and engineering-based robotics competition.
