Held at Downingtown Middle School in the Art Room
There were over 800 people with Parents and Students checking out what stem is all about!
FLL
VEX
The Downingtown VEXmen were there in full force! We set up a smaller 8' by 8' field and loaded it up with balls from Clean Sweep. We had 4 standard squarebots, plus the tri-bot (built by one of the 9th graders in the Introduction to STEM class). Our college friends from the [[[Knights of The Olde Robotic]] was there with two demo robots.
About 150 kids drove the VEX robots and received their Robotics Drivers License. Jack, Taylor, Mike L, Mike M, Nathan and Sadat kept the robots repaired and on the field. The robots were moving the entire 2 1/2 hour time we were there.
We also had a display table outside with our tri-fold that talked about the VEX program with all of the VEX trophies that we've won in the last year (a very impressive set!) Bob and Steve were busy answering parents and future roboteers questions. They got leads on two new mentors for next year and lots of sign up sheets were filled in.
