Our administration, student body, and community now know when robotics season is. It wasn't this way two years ago! Last year we hosted the first week 1 MAR district event. Honestly, our team was unknown within the school, we had dwindling numbers and little to no accolades.
Our event last year exposed our school population (1700+) students to FIRST. Now people ask questions, we reveal the game to the school, and over half of the high school came to see the event during the school day!
This is a benefit of the district model. It brings the events back into the schools. In fact the two convince stores near our school (Wawa) are interested in supporting our event in the future.
We also built a T-shirt cannon over the summer, which helps get the crowds amped up at basketball and football games!
