Casa de la Esperanza kids join Louisville Lego robot competition
It was a day for robots inside Monarch High School in Louisville on Saturday as dozens of teams competed in the First Lego League Robotics Competition. Kids were tasked with constructing and programming robots to complete a series of tasks. The teams also conducted science-themed research projects where students came up with solutions for real world problems. Among the teams was one put together several years ago by Casa de la Esperanza, a Longmont based organization that houses and helps recent Latin American immigrants who work in the agriculture industry to adjust to life in the United States. Program coordinator Vanessa Escarcega said that the organization has four teams for different age groups, and the teams were started as a way to get the children of immigrants into science, technology, engineering and math as well as help them succeed in school and go on to attend college.
