On May 10th, 215 students from 13 schools gathered at Scheck Hillel Community School to compete in various challenges and showcase what they’ve learned throughout the year at CAJE’s 7th Annual South Florida Jewish Day School Robotics Festival.
Our 13 participating schools: Brauser Maimonides Academy, David Posnack Jewish Day School, Donna Klein Jewish Academy, Hebrew Academy (RASG), Hochberg Lower School– Posnack East, Innovative School of Temple Beth Sholom, Lehrman Community Day School, Meyer Prep Academy, Rambam Day School, Scheck Hillel Community School, South Florida Jewish Academy, Toras Emes Academy, and Yeshiva Elementary School, worked diligently to get ready for the Festival alongside our local coach, Ilana Traub.

Ilana is instrumental in not only the training of our teachers at the beginning of the year but also in the planning and scheduling of the Festival.
Everyone knows that Legos are great connectors, but they have also proven to be a game changer for innovative education. This year, close to 20 teams competed in various challenges that included the annual challenge mat from First Lego League, and for the first time, our new Israel: Land of Innovation mat.
“CAJE’s Robotics program has changed our curriculum and life in our school tremendously! Not only do the students learn to work together but they also learn coding, math, and problem-solving while having fun! Our students are so happy and enthusiastic and look forward to the Festival. Thank you so much for this life-changing experience!” - Patricia Martinez, Yeshiva Elementary School
