Introducing the Sappington Robotics Club

We are happy to announce that Sappington is starting its very first robotics club! The club will consist of a 2nd & 3rd grade team, and a 4th & 5th grade team. Each team will be comprised of 6 students, and 1 alternate team member. We will meet after school from 3:30-4:30 pm on Thursdays, November 12th & 19th, and Mondays, November 23rd & 30th. Applicants must be available on all four dates to be considered.

We will be competing in challenges given to us from the Wonder League Robotics Competition. Teams from around the nation along with their Dash & Dot robots will face off to overcome obstacles, solve coding challenges, and have a blast while they're at it. The team's mission is to help Dash make it through space to explore a newly discovered planet, and make it back safely to Earth. Working and collaborating with teammates will play an essential part in accomplishing these tasks.

If your child is in grades 2-5 and would like to apply, a completed application must be turned into the library no later than Friday, November 6th. Applications are being sent home with students today, or you can print the one below. We will notify the students that have been chosen on Monday, November 9th. We look forward to an exciting robotics adventure!

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email Mrs.Czaicki (kczaicki@lindberghschools.ws) or Mrs.Grebe (bethgrebe@lindberghschools.ws).
