Congratulations to the student representatives from FRC teams #8222, #9622, and #9643 on their successful trip to Ecuador. The six high school robotics students were recently interviewed by National Public Radio (NPR) about the trip. The students had just returned from participating in a 10-day humanitarian medical mission to Latacunga, Ecuador, with Med Access International. This US-based all-volunteer aid organization runs medical missions throughout Central and South America. During the mission, the robotics students used 3D printers to manufacture and assemble prosthetic hands and arms for children and adults in need. Read the full article online at

Firefly’s “Blue Ghost” spacecraft safely lands on target in Mare Crisium on Earth’s moon. The spacecraft was launched on January 15 and completed its 45-day Earth to Moon transit before softly touching down on the Moon on March 2. The Firefly is now the first commercial company in history to achieve a fully successful Moon landing! How cool is that!

For my friends who are students or mentors involved in elementary, middle-school, or high school robotics, this is proof that what you are doing and learning today matters. The sky is no longer the limit. Your dreams can take you ANYWHERE!

This just in... Team Registration is now open for the 2024 Curiosity Open Robotics Challenge! The Curiosity Open is the Great Lakes Science Center's annual, off-season, robotics tournament that features some of the best high school robotics teams from across the region.

During the most recent FIRST® Robotics Competition season, high school teams from Ohio and the surrounding states successfully competed at major events both nationally and internationally, and on Saturday, September 28, the Science Center will open its doors and welcome up to 24 of these teams, and their fans, to an exciting, one-of-a-kind, off-season invitational event. The floor of the Great Lakes Science Center's special exhibition gallery will be transformed into a robot battleground where teams of students, working in three-team alliances, will go head-to-head, tournament style, to see whose robots are the best designed and constructed!

Details and links to TEAM and VOLUNTEER REGISTRATION volunteer registration can be found online at: www.greatscience.com/explore/events-programs/curiosity-open. Don't miss out on all the action! Register your team today!
