Seventh-grade students in the Robotics Discovery program and eighth-grade students from the Intro to Computer Science class at William Paca Middle School have recently completed a project where they created miniature fairground attractions. The students used LEGO SPIKE Prime sets to design, engineer, and program these models without any given instructions. They built various attractions such as Ferris wheels, carousels, and swings using bricks and motors.

This initiative marks the second year of the Robotics Discovery program at the school. Mrs. Kelsey Campoverde, who leads these classes, expressed her satisfaction with the students' work. "She was very impressed with their creativity, effort, and critical thinking when developing their carnival attractions."

A video compilation showcasing their designs has been made available for viewing.
