A team of eight (8) students from Mounds View High School are headed to the FIRST Robotics World Championships for the second year in a row!

The robotics team, Potential Energy, have been building robots together since 2021 as part of the program called High Tech Kids. Their interest in robotics dates back further than that; they first started “doing robotics” in elementary school. In addition to the technical challenges of fabricating a robot, the team says that their participation in the High Tech Kids program also requires them to take on public speaking and outreach work and encourage other young people to pursue STEM activities.

Come cheer on the Varsity team as we take on Park for our home opener at 4:30 PM today! There will be games and prizes for SAYB day also. Good luck to all of our teams playing today:

• JV team - plays at 4:15 PM vs. Park at Park High School
