K-8 Robotics Summer Camp Celebration

The week-long camp was filled with so much fun, and we were sad to see the kids go on Day 5. In the end, we decided to close out the camp with a great celebration: An exciting VEX Competition!

We held many rounds of contests for all the age groups, with kids participating from VEX GO to the newest VRC Game Spin Up. Parents were invited to see how much their kids grew as engineers and watch them showcase what they've worked hard on throughout the week. The students displayed the skills they learned during the camp through the robot they built, the program they wrote to make it come to life, and being able to show off their own creations by driving it around and putting bots to the test on the actual field.

It was an amazing way to finish off the summer camp and the kids were all very enthusiastic and thrilled by the competition. We were so glad to hear how many wished to continue the robotics experience.

During our annual Robotics Banquet last May, we recognized all the teams in Lovejoy Robotics and their accomplishments last season. Outstanding volunteers, leaders, and students were awarded for their service and dedication to Lovejoy Robotics. The graduating class also gave their senior speeches, offering their advice to the younger generations in the program.

As the first Lovejoy Chapter of the International Robotics Honors Society, we had an induction ceremony for its new members. Officer selections were also announced to kickstart the beginning of our Chapter.

In our next Robotics Banquet and IRHS Ceremony in early May, we will also celebrate our Chapter's first year projects and our overall success in promoting STEM in our community.
