The Frazer School to represent at Houston robotics competition

Update, May 6: A group of Fraser School students won an award at a world robotics tournament last week.

The team of five students — known as the Turbo Gatorbots — were one of 160 teams to compete. They were one of five teams to receive what's known as the "Innovative Project Finalist Award."

Original story, April 28: Students from The Frazer School in Gainesville will represent Florida in a robotics competition in Houston from April 29 to May 2.

They’re part of FIRST LEGO League, a global robotics network that promotes STEM education in elementary and middle schools.

We stopped by for a visit recently to learn about their work and meet the five-member team: seventh graders James Du, Dennis Chi, Jacob Li, Andrew Zhao, and fourth grader Daniel Chi.

They’re known as the Turbo Gatorbots.
