$20 For 365

As our 20th Anniversary is coming up, we’re encouraging our alumni and anyone else who wants to help out to donate about $20 or more for this year’s team expenses! You may think that $20 isn’t much, but that can help our students pay off their travel expenses or even get a meal plan for the build season. We’d all very much appreciate any donation we can get.  You can learn more and donate here!

Great job to MOE’s Driver and Function Operator and last minute Driver and Function Operator to control Simple Machine’s Robot.  We cannot wait for next year’s Girl Power!

2018 Kick-Offs

P1000647_editedThe 2018 game for this year, FIRST POWER UP, has just been announced and the entire team is excited and ready for the build season.

P1000637_editedEveryone was more than prepared to open this year’s game manual and was waiting for it to be announced; having to see all the different rules and the different functions for it will be important to us all. Although it can be tiring, it’s always necessary to go in. The live broadcast revealing the new game and field for this year was something we all loved to watch, especially with the bit of laughter here and there. P1000663_editedAlthough it will be a difficult one to build this year (just like any other year), our team is determined to do our best to make it work and build a great robot. We can’t wait for all the competitions and to get on that new field!
