A Roaring Good Time with the Newton Robotics Teams!

Apr 06, 2023

Yesterday was quite the exciting day at our program, as we had the pleasure of hosting none other than the Newton North and Newton South Robotics Teams - and their award-winning robot! It was a day filled with excitement, learning, and most importantly, tons of fun.

Our talented visitors gave us the lowdown on what their team does and the various events they participate in. But that's not all - they also brought along their pride and joy: their very own robot. Our students were over the moon as they ran some thrilling games and competitions alongside the robotic wonder. Talk about a day to remember! 

If your child came home raving about the visit or is curious about the team's future competitions, we have some great news for you! The coach was kind enough to share some information about their upcoming events, and we couldn't be more excited to pass it along. We highly recommend checking out the links in the message below if your child loved yesterday's visit or wants to support the team by watching their competitions.
