Robotics success

See this week's edition of the Post Review for a great story on the NBAPS/Chisago Lakes robotics program:
Along with their robot, students from North Branch and Chisago Lakes high schools spent their weekend (April 2, 3 and 4) at Mariucci Arena at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis competing for the chance to go to Atlanta to become the proverbial dominant force in robot sports.

They got pretty close.
The team placed in the top 20 and we are so proud!

The robotics program makes science and math fun and gives kids real world experience with both.

Behind the scenes of this program there were many dedicated adult volunteers and donors helping make it happen and the district is so appreciative of their efforts.

Great job everyone!
