Here We Go!
1 team to 2 teams to 3 teams!
Our All Girls Robotics club is off and running! When we started last year, as the All Girls STEAM Club, we had about 40 girls who participated during second semester. Our teacher mentors, Ms. Natalie Prystaloski and Mr. Victor Sanchez, have worked hard to make the program even stronger this year. As a result, the girls were able to sign-up and start practice with the LEGO Mindstorm robots this past week.
A lot of work has been done in the robotics lab and the girls are working on their t-shirt design for the competitions. The first competition is October 27, 2018.
One of the challenges we have faced this year is the amount of girls who are excited for this opportunity. Over 80 of our girls want to be a robotics coder and we love that! We are working out schedules for them all to participate.
As we start organizing the girls for competition teams we have increased from one team to two teams and are now considering adding a third team!
Keep checking back for updates as we continue on our exciting journey!
