Congratulations to Our IJAVVE Robotics Team!
The IJAVVE FLL Robotics team — made up of our incredible 4th and 5th grade students — had an unforgettable experience yesterday at the FIRST LEGO League Play Space Qualifier in San Jose!
Competing against 14 teams from across the Bay Area, our students impressed everyone with their robot performance and innovation — earning 5th place overall with a top score of 225 points across four robot runs!
Even more exciting, the team received the Robot Design Award — the second highest ranked award at the tournament — for their outstanding robot and attachment designs. This award celebrates teams that exemplify innovation, strategy, and engineering excellence. What an achievement!
And here’s what makes it even more special: this is our first year ever running a robotics program at IJAVVE. Our students’ hard work, determination, and collaboration led to real success — setting the stage for many more milestones to come.
Their innovation project addressed real-world ocean challenges by exploring how thermoelectric generators could power self-sustaining sensors underwater, helping scuba divers harness energy while submerged.
Huge congratulations to our amazing team:
- Joshua Aguilar (5th)
- Darrius Balisoro (5th)
- Angelina Nguyen (4th)
- Navya Pathak (5th)
- Aaron Pimentel (5th)
- Caztiel Piña (4th)
- Jose Riegos (5th)
- Jase Saechao (5th)
- Bryant Stripling (5th)
- Miya Udarbe (4th)
And a big thank you to our incredible coaches — Ms. Sankarappan, Coach Pratik, and Coach Nithin — for your guidance, encouragement, and belief in our students every step of the way.
Swipe through the photos to see the excitement and pride on their faces — this is IJAVVE Pride and Mt. Pleasant Elementary School District Pride. The future is bright (and robotic)!
