Local middle school robotics team heads to state tournament

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A group of local students is showing others that young people can do anything!

Five students from James Weldon Johnson College Preparatory Middle School started their own robotics team.

A student’s mom stepped up to coach the team-- but she didn’t have any computer experience. So the kids stepped up and did everything on their own!

They recently competed in a local event and won, which allowed them to move on to the regionals in Ocala this past weekend.

After dominating again they will now get to compete in a state tournament and an international tournament.
