In the Spring of 2025, our Robotics Club focused on fostering collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking skills among students. The Introduction to Robotics course offered comprehensive knowledge on robot functionality and provided participants with the opportunity to build a robot, expanding upon their previous year's experience.
During the Summer of 2025, our Robotics Club commenced work on their robot for this year's competition. These students proudly represented the U.S. Virgin Islands in the FIRST Global Challenge in Panama City, Panama. The FIRST Global Challenge is an annual international robotics event, structured like the Olympics, where one team of high school students from each nation is invited to participate.
To learn more about our journey and its progression, we invite you to like our Facebook page.
