Mr. Busch shared his fascinating career journey and gave us an inside look at archaeology. We loved sharing our innovation project and asking Mr. Busch questions about archaeology!

Exciting day for our team! Today, we visited Mitchell Prehistoric Indian Village to learn about the traditional way of life of Native American families and gain a deeper understanding of the past.

We had the opportunity to engage with an archaeologist and learn about the challenges they face in preserving our cultural heritage.

Our team also had the chance to share our innovative project with Director, Mr. Christian New, and receive valuable feedback on how to take it to the next level!

Massive shout-out to our incredible Lakota Coders! The team is officially in the thick of the UNEARTHED season, and the energy is through the roof as they build their mission models!

This year is all about ARCHAEOLOGY and uncovering the secrets of the past. Our team is transforming those bags of LEGO bricks into incredible artifacts, ancient symbols, and excavation sites that their robots will navigate. This isn't just snapping bricks together, it’s hands-on engineering, problem-solving, and a whole lot of fun!
