116 teams. 240+ middle school students.
5 weeks of summer school to learn math & science and learn to build robots for 2 hours/day.
10 sites. 30 teachers.
2 days of scrimmages were held this week to show the students what competitions were like. 2 divisions - 6 matches each.
These scrimmages were successful because of 38 great volunteers (some pictured below) working with the staff. 8 of these volunteers are from AmeriCorps-NCCC, working in the classrooms and helping staff events for the summer. Shout out to Super Sonic Sparks and REX VRC teams for all their help.
Next up - the Olympiad on Aug. 1 for all the teams. Forget the VEX trophies. We are awarding gold medals.
