Robocup Junior Competition

12/4/2020

On Tuesday, April 23rd The York School robotics and programming club competed in a robotics competition at St. Andrews College.

It is universally recognized that technology greatly influences our lives, both locally and globally. Not only does it affect business and government, but on an individual level, it provides tools for improving the lives of many people. This year St. Andrew’s College offered lightweight Soccer at the secondary level and three versions of the Rescue Challenge at both the primary and secondary levels.

Shoutouts to the following students for sharing and demonstrating their learning with us: Amelia Ellis, Kumkum Anugopal, Eric Pinkerton, Stuart Boyden, Eve Raby, Mysha Gilani, Shelly Finkelstein, Nithin Prasad, Edward Laposata, Tony Song and Avery Moorhead. Congratulations to Stu Boyden and Eric Pinkerton for placing 2nd in the Maze Competition. We are excited to continue our learning journey in STEM and join future RoboCup competitions in the next school year.
