SOFTBALL
7th grade softball walked away with 2 wins in last nights double header against Erie Mason. Offense and defense was on fire!
ROBOTICS
What is FTC robotics?
It’s way more than building robots. FIRST Tech Challenge teams are challenged to design, build, program, and operate robots to compete in a head-to-head challenge in an alliance format. Participants call it “the hardest fun you’ll ever have!” Guided by adult Coaches and Mentors, students develop STEM skills and practice engineering principles (like keeping an engineering notebook), while realizing the value of hard work, innovation, and sharing ideas. Teams also must raise funds, design and market their team brand, and do community outreach for which they can win awards. Participants have access to tens of millions of dollars in college scholarships.
The application can be found at bedfordftcrobotics.weebly.com You can see Mrs. Hemry or e-mail her at jennifer.hemry@mybedford.us if you have any questions.
