INDIANAPOLIS — Paramount School of Excellence’s VEX IQ robotics teams returned from the World Championship pleased with their performances. Both teams did an outstanding job to place among the elite world teams. The school’s elementary team was selected as one of the top four finalists for their STEM research project. And Paramount’s middle school team made it into the finals and placed 13th overall in the world.
For the second year consecutive year, seven students and three coaches joined top-ranked teams from around the world in Louisville, Kentucky from April 15 – 18, 2015 for the intense four-day annual robotics-engineering tournament. The competition attracts more than 800 teams and 15,000 students from over 25 countries.
Throughout the school year, the Paramount VEX IQ Teams met weekly — accumulating more than 400 hours in programming, executing improvements, practicing and refining their presentation skills.
