East High School -

East High School is proud to offer robotics club.  

Students who possess a strong interest in all thing’s technology—including working with tools, web design, science, photography/videography editing, programming, public speaking, writing, and business—are encouraged to participate in robotics club. Through involvement in robotics club, students learn valuable life skills including problem-solving, visual programming, and perseverance.

The FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) is designed for students in grades 7–12 to compete head to head, by designing, building, and programming a robot to compete in an alliance format against other teams. The robot kit is Android-based, and it is programmed using Java, the Blocks programming interface, or other Android programming systems. Teams, with the guidance of coaches, mentors and volunteers, are required to develop strategy and build robots based on innovative, sound engineering principles. Awards are given for robot performance as well as for community outreach, design, and other real-world accomplishments.
