The district’s robotics team, comprised of 14 sixth grade students from all three school buildings, competed against 13 teams from across New York State at the STEP Statewide Robotics Competition held at Adelphi University on May 30.
In preparation for the competition, team members met after school beginning in November to design, build and program their robots using LEGO SPIKE Prime kits. Students worked closely with advisers Julia Caiazzo, Matt Dornemann, Karen Perlak and Maggie Tittler as they developed their engineering, coding and problem-solving skills throughout the year.
At the competition, teams were evaluated in both field challenges and presentation events, showcasing the hard work and dedication they had demonstrated over the past several months.
The Electro Jaguars earned the Presentation Award, while the Techno Tigers captured third place overall.
