Robotics Club & Team
The Robotics Club is for students who are interested in exploring the world of Robotics. We will be designing, building & programming robots.
The Robotics Team is for students that are interested in committing to a competitive team. We have two levels: Lego League for 6th and 7th grade, Tech Team for 8th grade (and 7th grade experienced roboticists!).
Watch our video here: Robotics Club Infomercial
Our Coaches- Mrs. Valgenti, Ms. Catanese and Mr. Bradley
You do not need any experience in programming or robotics to join the club. We will provide training and tutorials. This year we will have 2 teams- a 6th & 7th grade Lego League Team, and an experienced FIRST Tech Challenge Team.
We have not started meeting yet this year, but if you are interested, please contact one of the coaches to be placed in our Google Classroom for Robotics. We post information about virtual training sessions and events that you can attend.
Meeting Schedule
We will be meeting on Tuesdays and pre-competition Thursdays for the Team.
