Tiger Industries Robotics
HMS has a highly competitive Robotics program. Each year we participate in the First Tech Challenge (FTC), Air Battles (Drone competition) and GEAR (Get Excited About Robotics). Students from 6th - 8th grade can participate in these robotics competitions! Each program is highly competitive so we do require an application for participation.
Robotics is a great program for our district. Students take away a sense of pride and accomplishment with their robots! Programming skills and teamwork skills improve as well as an opportunity for competition. A lot of skills in robotics are learned through trial and error and tenacity and we are amazed at our students and their dedication to improve week to week. We love that what the kids start in middle school will carry up with them when they join the high school engineering program!
The HMS Robotics Coaches are Dustin Thomas and Kim Thomson
