Students used both Dash and Dot ro- bots and an iPad to pro- gram them. Each mission was judged using a video to evaluate how well it was executed along with the efficiency of the code used and creative problem solving. Team LSS Discovery earned a perfect score on all five of its mis- sions. "LSS Discovery blew us away with their dedication, coding chops and grit," said June Lin, of the Wonder Ro- botics Team.

SIMPSON University for seniors accepting students By Elliot Spagat TheAssociatedPress SAN DIEGO President- elect Donald Trump has paid $25 million to settle three lawsuits against his now-defunct Trump Uni- versity, signaling that a judge's approval of a set- tlement agreement re- mains on track for March 30. Trump Entrepreneur Initiative LLC paid the money into escrow ahead of Wednesday's deadline, said plaintiff attorney Ja- son Forge, who repre- sented people who took seminars that promised to teach success in real estate. Trump University was renamed Trump En- trepreneur Initiative in 2010 after New York state officials objected to the name because it wasn't an accredited school. Trump's attorneys did not immediately respond to a message Thursday seeking confirmation of the payment. Under terms disclosed last month, Trump was to pay $25 million at least two days before his inau- guration to settle two fed- eral class-action lawsuits in San Diego and a civil lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. The agree- ment sets aside $4 million for the New York attorney general's office and the rest for about 7,000 peo- ple who took Trump Uni- versity programs. Students who paid up to $35,000 a year are ex- pected to be eligible for refunds of at least half of what they paid if U.S. Dis- trict Judge Gonzalo Curiel approves the settlement on March 30. Plaintiff at- torneys agreed to waive their fees. Last month, Curiel granted preliminary ap- proval, triggering notices to the former students to either accept the terms or object. They have until March 6 to object. The lawsuits allege that Trump University gave nationwide semi- nars that were like info- mercials, constantly pres- suring people to spend more and, in the end, fail- ing to deliver on its prom- ises. They contend that Trump misled students by calling the business a uni- versity and by saying that he had hand-picked the in- structors. The settlement was an- nounced 10 days before a trial was scheduled to be- gin in San Diego, sparing Trump constant news cov- erage of a controversy that dogged him during the campaign. Trump admit- ted no wrongdoing. LAWSUITS Trump pays $25 million to settle Trump University cases IT only T A K E S A S P A R K .
