Who are the Scieneers? And why they need your support...

The Scieneers, are STEM club team sponsored by Learning Options. The team members are Caleb Sorensen, Evan & Mackenzie Nielsen, Jack & Caroline Thompson, Tim & Drew Burget, Kemp & Gabe Holtzer, and team leaders Beth Thompson and Barbie Johnston.

In November, they placed in the top 3 in two different challenges today at the First Lego League scrimmage in Morgantown, a great accomplishment for this first-time competition team.

On December 8th, at WV First Lego League State Competition, the Scieneers won the State Championship, which means they now have the opportunity to represent our wild and wonderful state at the World Invitational in St. Louis, MO in April 2013. There is a registration fee, hotel reservation fees, and travel expenses which include a 650 mile road trip. When all is said and done, these costs could exceed $10,000! Their goal is to raise the funds necessary through donations.
