Due to the generous donations from Give to the Max Day, we are now in sight of reaching our goal of $6,000 for the Duluth Robotics competition in March. With the donations of Give to the Max and the volunteering jobs that Highland Park Robotics team has done, as of today we have raised $4,295.45!!!
We can see that the ScotBot thermometer that the Business team created is filling up fast- almost 3/4 of the way to being completely red! let’s keep up the great work!
Give to the Max day is Thursday, November 13th. That’s quickly approaching! You can donate through the robotics Give to the Max page at https://givemn.org/organization/273384001592-7983612. You can also schedule a donation today that will be entered on the 13th. Please share the webpage with friends and family on social media!
We had a brilliant turn-out of all you amazing newcomers (more than 20 new members!!!). Our Team Captain David White and Team Manager Jeremy White gave everyone a warm welcome and briefing. While the new members were learning the ropes, our returning members were preparing ways that everyone on the team could get to know each other better and work together in the most efficient and fun ways possible. Currently, Business team is working on making new tee-shirts and finding sponsors; Build team is getting ready to brainstorm ideas for supplies needed; Media team is working on managing our outreach to other teams and to interest people via the social media; CAD is practicing using fusion 360.
