The Somerville High School Highlander Robotics Team, led by SHS Science teacher Michael Friedman, had a great weekend at the FIRST Robotics Greater Boston District Event at Revere High School.

SHS Robot “FRC 6201” ended qualifications in 8th place out of 28 teams. The team also took home the Team Spirit Award for their strong community outreach program, which included demonstrations at elementary schools, local community events and supporting the first SHS Women in STEM Summit.

Robotics programs develop science and technology leadership and innovation in young people by engaging them in exciting projects that develop team skills, relationships with mentors, confidence and communication skills. Congratulations #SHSHighlanders!
