Due to growing student interest in robotics, Don Bosco Prep is establishing a Freshman Robotics Team which will compete in the FIRST Tech Challenge. More than 30 incoming freshmen have been attending twice weekly virtual sessions over the summer to prepare themselves to quickly begin work when the new annual challenge is released on September 12. Students are learning both basic mechanical and programming principles as well as strategies to successfully compete in the competitions. Early competitions will likely be remote, with the hope that later competitions will be able to be held in person. The new freshman team compliments the school junior varsity and varsity FIRST Robotics Competition Teams that meet later in the year. Freshmen will be able to join these additional teams as well. Go Bosco!
