The students on Team #9868 "Jag Wires" are: Jose Sandoval, Noe Monjaraz, Sarah Ballard, Cheyenne Killebrew, Yaretzi Sandoval, Jaycee McCauley, JJ Gibson, Kaylie Green, Morgan McCauley and Tristan Story. We are all very proud of these students' accomplishments. Way to go!
On Saturday, February 20, the Guthrie Robotics Team #9868 "Jag Wires" competed in the Panhandle Plains FTC Regional Championship at Frenship HS. They came away with the top two highest honors of the competition: Winning Alliance Team Captain and Inspire Award. This is a pretty remarkable achievement, especially considering these students are in their rookie season, never having competed in this type of robotics program. They now advance to play again in the Super Regional Championship in San Antonio on March 9-11. At that competition, these students will be competing with 72 other teams from 12 states for a chance to attend the FTC World Robotics Championship.

Everyone is invited to the Guthrie Robotics Open House, scheduled for this Thursday (February 11) from 6:00-7:00pm. It will be held in Mr. Wilson's classroom and will be a chance for everyone to see up close how the GCSD robotics program operates. The event will be open to students, parents, teachers, family and community members. The GCSD robotics team members will give talks, answer questions and demo robots during this come-and-go open house.
These students are hosting this open house event as part of their FTC Regional Robotics Contest. They are required to do several community outreach projects and incorporate those into their formal team presentations and judges interviews. Their next contest is on Saturday, February 20 at Frenship HS. Please help them prepare for that by attending and listening to their talks, watching their demos and asking questions. Every interaction they have on Thursday evening will help better prepare them for their contest. Your presence will also provide a much needed morale boost to these kids. They've worked literally every day since the first day of school preparing for this contest. Its a lot of work with minimal exposure and only a few chances for outside affirmations. Hope you'll be able to attend! |
