FireBears Robotics Team Visit December 11th
 Roseville Area High School's FireBears robotics team has volunteered to visit TCGIS on Monday December 11th from 3:30-4:15 to do a demo with their robots. Students will be able to hear about what robotics is like at high school, ask questions, and even get some hands-on experience playing with robots! This is a great opportunity from a well-respected robotics team. The FireBears went to the world championships in 2016 and have earned recognition for their robot from Igus (a German corporation). Three TCGIS Alumni are on the team: Erik, Lexie, and Robert Rauer.
The event is open to students in grades 4-8th. Please sign up
here by
