Girls In Gear

Girls in Gear is a Girl Scout program to introduce scouts to engineering. In our area Team 341 is one of the big supporters.

On November 13, 2010 the VEXMEN (actually the VEXMEN girls) did a demo for the second year. About 70 scouts played Clean Sweep on a reduced sized field. We had created 4 squarebots with claws to move the green balls around. Those and two bigger robots from STEMRobotics were our players.

As with last year the Daisy groups were the most excited to be able to drive.

Volunteers: Nichole, Christina, Emma, Adrienne Drexel, Bob Whalen, Foster Schucker, Steve Rhoads along with Andrew and Patrick from KTOR

On November 18, 2009 the Downingtown Area Robotics VEX team took 6 robots to play a modified version of Elevation. We had 45 scouts ranging from Daisy's (1st and 2nd graders) through Cadets. There were some pretty fierce contests! A number of the scouts said that our driving event was the best part of that days program.
