These American Teens Just Took First Place in World Robotics Championship
Don't think American kids can complete in science and math? These teens gave up parties and stayed up late to win the world's largest robotics competition.

A group of Cleveland teens were overwhelmed with emotion as they beat out 20,000 other students to claim top prize at the FIRST Robotics World Championship.

Their Team 120, made up of students from the Cleveland School District–as well as Virginia, California, and Illinois–sent their robot into the competition featuring 634 teams from 42 countries around the world.

The students stayed up late working every night, skipping parties, to make sure their machine was in prime condition for its events.

"This is where we aspire, it's where we learn to innovate and become the future," Iris Harris, Team 120 member, told WOIO News. "This helps our future."

Do you still think American kids can't complete in science and math?
