Robotics Team 6570
Hey, Bobcats! The Whiteford Robotics Team participated in a tournament last weekend. The kids obviously build the robot so they’re learning science, math, programming, using power tools, and so much more. But at the competitions they have to build an alliance. They are required to interview teams, scout matches to collect data on other teams, and build strategies based on data collected. Talk about teaching teamwork! These kids are learning how to NETWORK, how to start a conversation, how to interpret mass amounts of information, how to work with total strangers, how to be LEADERS, how to take a hit and get back up. The team performed really well! They are currently on track for States!
