We had such a great time "Unearthing" this year’s FIRST LEGO League Discover & Explore Season! 🔍

Capping off the season with 10 amazing teams at our Local Expo hosted at the Rex Martin NIBCO Interactive Museum was the perfect way to celebrate all their learning, creativity, and teamwork. Students got to showcase their projects and dive into the fascinating history of plumbing innovation that has been happening right here in Elkhart since 1904. Talk about cool local history! 💧🚰

A huge thank-you to our event sponsors, Everwise Credit Union and NIBCO INC, for helping make this inspiring day possible. We’re grateful for your support and for helping our young engineers explore, discover, and dream big! 💙🤖💛
