Where:

Worthington Kilbourne High School 

1499 Hard Rd, Columbus, OH 43235

 

This season's FIRST® in Ohio State Championship is expected to draw nearly 800 high school students and their cheering fans to Worthington Kilbourne campus for the single-day event.  Four (4) CMSD teams from the Great Lakes Science Center's Robotics Initiative will be among the teams competing. Those teams are:

  • Team #8140 (The RoboManiacs from MC2 STEM High School);

  • Team #8145 (The Tech Warriors from East Technical High School);

  • Team #8243 (The AstroCircuits from John Marshall High School), and

  • Team #9622 (GRIDLOCK from Garrett Morgan School of Engineering and Innovation)
