The Dalles Robotics Teams Reach Fundraising Goal; Set Sights on World Championship — Columbia Community Connection News Mid-Columbia Region

The teams are not just about competition; they are about community.

Each high school participant has also served as a mentor for younger students through the Wasco 4-H STEM Leadership program.

“Not only are our students exceptional robotics engineers and programmers, they are also good leaders and role models. 100% of the high school robotics students have served as mentors for elementary and middle school aged youth in the Wasco 4-H STEM Leadership program. These students volunteer to share their knowledge and skills with younger kids. I couldn’t be more proud,” said Seapy. 

As the teams make their final preparations for the championship, their community continues to cheer them on. Updates on their progress and experiences in Dallas will be shared via the Wasco 4-H Oregon Facebook page, ensuring supporters can follow their journey every step of the way.
