CELEBRATION and SHOUT-OUTS 
 
Shoutout 6-21-19-1
Team 14816, The Mini LEGO Masters from Essex, ON, Canada concluded their MISSION MOONSM season at an expo in early June. Their robot (named Vendor #1051) brings supplies to storage units using a counter-clockwise turn. The team enjoyed their experience and are really interested in coding and engineering!
