Ridgway School District

November 17, 2025

We’re excited to celebrate RoboRidgway, who took 1st place at the FIRST LEGO League Challenge Qualifier and is officially headed to State! Congratulations to RoboRidgway 2 as well, who qualified as an alternate. A special congratulations goes to Coach Strength for receiving the Coach/Mentor Award, a truly well-deserved honor.

Thank you to all 13 teams from six regional school districts, the dedicated coaches, and our amazing volunteers for bringing such strong energy and engagement, helping create a meaningful experience for everyone.

We extend an additional thank you to the Pinhead Institute, for creating an inspiring day for young problem-solvers and future engineers, and for bringing high-quality STEM opportunities to students across our region. Your partnership is invaluable and deeply appreciated.
