NEWPORT, R.I. — The Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Division Newport and the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth College of Engineering are co-hosting a FIRST Lego League Qualifier in the Science and Engineering Building on campus on Saturday, Dec. 8. The competition begins at 9 a.m. with an awards ceremony scheduled for 2 p.m.
Twenty-four teams from southeastern Massachusetts will be competing with robots they began building at the start of the academic year.
