The Appleton Area School District has three high schools, all of which have students on the NEW (Appleton
North, Appleton
East, Appleton
West) Apple Corps Robotics Team. We've been that way from our beginnings 12 years ago. Were we to grow into a larger team I'm sure we would split and form multiple teams but at present this is the most cost effective, functional way to run the team.
The NEW Apple Corps and FIRST Robotics was the inspiration for the formation of
Tesla Engineering Charter School within our district. The school is home to 97 students (119 next year) who have an interest in learning more about engineering and technology and plan to pursue post-secondary education in engineering. The school also has an after-school class (for credit) that introduces new team members to what FIRST and our team are all about and gives the returning members the opportunity to prep for the upcoming season. We've followed the Husky Brigades mantra from a few years back - "It's a year round thing!"
Great to see what others have done in their districts!
