In 2019, LCSS became the 1st FIRST School District Partner in Tennessee. Throughout the past years, FIRST LEGO has greatly supported students through STEM4ALL in the Lawrence County School District. This year, they have shown a continued commitment to students through the CTE STEM Department by granting over $483,000 in robotics materials over the next 3-year period. Last week, Ms. Betsy Daniels (Sr. Innovative and Strategic Program Manager) and Kate Sample (Education Specialist) of FIRST met with Mrs. Annemarie Lampright (STEM Coordinator) and delivered the fantastic news. Over three days, the trio visited multiple school campuses throughout the district to observe LCSS classrooms in action!
Fantastic to see LEGO investing in LCSS CTE/STEM -partnerships like this can really expand hands-on learning and community opportunities.

FIRST LEGO League is known globally for introducing students to engineering and robotics through hands-on Slither io competitions and collaborative learning.
Planet Clicker is one of those idle games that instantly hooks you in. With its simple click-to-generate system and satisfying upgrade path, it’s perfect for anyone who enjoys steady progression and relaxing gameplay.
I used a name generator while creating accounts for different games, and it helped keep everything consistent without reusing the same name.
I’m really impressed by the level of commitment shown here—bringing in that kind of funding and hands-on support can truly transform how students experience STEM education. Seeing initiatives like this makes me realize how powerful real-world exposure and resources are in sparking curiosity and innovation. It also reminds me of how I approach challenges in Veck IO, where I’ve learned that growth comes from having the right tools and consistently pushing to improve.
