Extraordinary EARLY Robotics Results!

The Extraordinary Education Gearhead Sharks robotics team, led by coach Todd Powell, competed in the Spring 2013 EARLY Contest on Saturday, May 18th. EE was able to enter three sub-teams in this event, and there were 50 teams competing. The most ever!

Two of our EE teams made it to the “Elite Eight” round of Finals (top 8 out of 50!) The RED Sharks team ended up placing 3^rd overall and the GOLD Sharks team placed 8^th.  The BLUE Sharks team was eliminated in the first round of finals and placed 30^th overall. This was a great showing for our young robot engineers considering very few team members had ever even been to a robotics competition before.

Extraordinary Education also received one trophy for the school as a whole. It is the “Extraordinary Team” award and is presented for extraordinary efforts in helping other teams and generally promoting engineering and robotics.

Engineering And Robotics Learned Young (EARLY) is a program that exposes youth to engineering. EARLY provides 7 to 12 year olds the opportunity to participate in a robotics competition every fall and spring. Please visit the EARLY website for more information about the program.
