Sharon Invitational

Post-tournament: The 3rd Annual Sharon FLL tournament was a great success, due to the coordinated efforts of the Sharon Myotonics FTC team (our esteemed judges) and Team Unlimited (refs, scorers, timers, etc), as well as all our FLL teams and coaches! The competition was fervent but friendly, and our teams were inspired to new heights of accomplishment. Hopefully, everyone is that much better prepared for the regional and state competitions that are coming up soon!

We have posted our photos from the Invitational!
