On April 20, 2021 approximately 30 students from 7 Middle Schools throughout the Hampton Roads Area participated in the 15th Annual Ship Repair Virtual LEGO Competition. The event - which promotes the ship repair industry while increasing competitive mathematical, analytical, and conceptual skills in middle school aged students proved to be a great success again this year. The competing schools were able to overcome obstacles due to COVID regulations to create and deliver highly competitive presentations to a room of industry expert judges via Zoom.
