STEM Nights

Annual STEM Night at Hedrick Middle School 

The Robo-Wranglers play a pivotal role in the coordination operations that invite the community to participate in STEM related activities. STEM Night demonstrates the importance of science and technology education in today’s society. This year’s event is scheduled for March 5, 2026. 

STEM Night at Parkway Elementary 

On March 6, 2025, The Robo-Wranglers were invited to partake in the STEM Night at Parkway Elementary. This event allowed the team the opportunity to encourage incoming sixth graders to pursue the STEM electives at Hedrick Middle School and hopefully join our Robotics team as members of the internship program. We plan on attending this event yearly to continue promoting the importance of STEM in school.  

Fundraising

PAST EVENTS:

BUNNY GRAMS

In April 2025, the Robo-Wranglers conducted our inaugural 

Bunny Grams fundraiser. We allowed students and staff to purchase candy filled eggs with personalized messages prior to Easter. The event was a huge success as the team raised over $500 within a two week span. Members of the team had the opportunity to deliver the “Bunny Grams” to every classroom. This April we plan on running the fundraiser again and feel we will make more money this year based off the positive feedback from last year.

FUTURE EVENTS:

• Teacher Pie in the Face Fundraiser

• Selling Clothing Items with HMS/Robotics Emblem such as:

Beanies, Hoodies and Rally Towels

• Wear Pajamas to School Days / Wear a Hat to School Days

Fundraiser Goals: 

The purpose of fundraising is to ensure the team is financially stable to purchase equipment needed to improve and repair. The future goal is to eventually be able to donate & give back to the community and/or the school.
