Oct. 18, 2022-- This past weekend, students from across the district gathered to rev their robots for the first time this season at a formal practice day hosted at High School North. Practice days are designed for robotics teams from across the state to gather and hone their skills, collaborate with peers, and try out this year’s new competitive resources.

Students from High School East's Raiders Short Circuits worked to reprogram the arm of their robot while High School South’s Voltron modified their robot’s design. Intermediate North’s Cyberfins built all morning and High School North’s Iron Mariners rocked the practice round. District staff expressed gratitude for the ongoing support of High School South parent and board member Anna Polozzo for manning the fundraising table, and for her ongoing support of all of our robotics teams.

There’s still time for students to join, and no experience is necessary. The district encourages those who might be interested to listen for announcements in their buildings for details on weekly meetings after school and about the three big competitive events across New Jersey.
