Update on Robotics from Coach Miska
After winning at their first competition in January, our middle school rookie FTC robotics team, Betelgeuse, qualified for Saturday’s Massachusetts State Championship where they ranked 4th in the state!  Congratulations to Head Coach Patrick Doyle and the whole team!

Our high school FRC robotics team, Andromeda One, made it to the semifinals, took home the event’s most prestigious award, the Chairman’s Award, and already qualified for the New England Championship at WPI on April 11-13.

Last Thursday a small team led by Andromeda One’s Assistant Coach, Maureen Kilcommins, and Mary Beth Hamel submitted an $83,000 grant request for the Massachusetts Skills Capital Grant Program to upgrade and expand our STEM Pathway of Study including the development of an innovation lab at the ASRHS. Awards will be announced in mid-April.

A heartfelt thanks to Dr. Malone who came out to Salem, New Hampshire to support Andromeda One.  I attached a picture of Mary, students and Mary’s adorable grandson.

Please share the related information in newsletters, social media, website, morning announcements and TV monitors in the school.  You are also welcome to follow us on all social media sites (frc4905) and share our posts.

Your students inspire me!  Thanks for the support!

Thanks,
Christine Miska
