A group of homeschoolers from Oklahoma City have qualified to compete in a national robotics contest to be held in April, according to NewsOK.
The BEST Robotics National Championship is an annual event that pits student groups from at least 15 participating states against each other in a contest to see who can build the best functioning robot.
The championship features both homeschoolers and students from public and private schools. Last year, a group of Missouri homeschoolers took the top award.
The Oklahoma City group includes 30 students from grades six to 12. The group won second place in a regional competition held in Arkansas, qualifying for the national event to be held in Orlando, Fla.
The task this year was to create a robot that could sort golf balls from Easter eggs.
