|
|
Grace Yung, Sophomore
Programmer
"My goal this year is for the robot to win and function without breaking down, also climbing the traversal rung because it would be cool."
Andrew Smith, Sophomore
Driver/Build Team
"My favorite part of kickoff was learning about the new game. My goal for the robot is to climb the traversal rung."
|
|
Clark Vance, Sophomore
CAD Team
"My goal is to win and improve my CAD skills."
Stuart Vance '16

FIRST Robotics Competitions, also referred to as the ultimate Sport for the Mind, combine the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology. The SJPS Foundation has been a strong supporter of "The Joes", securing funding for STEAM initiatives in the district, as well as the Edward J. Todd Innovation Center which houses SJ Robotics Programs.
