Team member Ezekiel went to Houston to take in Worlds & participate in the Leadership Award Finalists ceremony. What an amazing time seeing teams from all around the world!

The team had a meaningful morning participating in the Robots at the Rotunda with other FTC & FRC teams at the Minnesota State Capitol.

Yesterday was an exciting day at the MN State Championship! Though we had many ups & downs on the field, we had a couple of exciting moments. Our team got a $2k grant from the Gene Haas foundation, one of our very own team members was a finalist for the Deans List (gaining him an invite to Worlds) & our team got all 56 teams to sign a giant thank you card for High Tech Kids and all the volunteers for a great season.

Rocky & the team are excited for State this weekend!

We had a fun day with 17 other teams today participating in a scrimmage hosted at MCA!

What a day yesterday! The team won the Think Award (given for excellence in documenting our season journey), the High Tech Kids Purple Gear Award (given for doing at least 6 outreach events) & advancement to the State Championship in February! A huge thank to you all the volunteers & High Tech Kids for making everything possible!
