FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) helps young people discover the excitement and rewards of education and careers in science and technology. Last month, the Woodlawn High team won the most prestigious Regional Chairman’s Award – a prize that honors the team which represents a model for other teams to emulate and embodies the goals and purpose of FIRST. At the national competition, held this year in Atlanta, the TechnoWarriors won the Judges’ Award – an honor bestowed on only three teams nationwide. The team operated their winning life-size robot and demonstrated their successful moves for those gathered at the recognition ceremony. For the regional and national competitions, the robot competed in an offensive/defensive challenge which included straight drives, turns, and picking up eight pound balls while defending itself against other robots.
