The Marquette Elks donated $750 to the Marquette Senior High School robotics team, ZetaBotics. The robotics team of 19 high school students utilizes math, engineering, programing and calculus skills to create a multi-functioning robot and compete in robotics competitions throughout the Upper Peninsula. Club members also mentor younger students in other schools in the art of robotics to encourage skills that will lead to future success. Last year, three graduating seniors from the club received substantial scholarships from prestigious engineering schools. The MSHS robotics team is provided a room at the high school to work on their craft. However, all funding for needed tools and equipment to build the robots and travel expenses to competitions rely totally on donations and the services of volunteer parents. If you’d like to contribute to the MSHS robotics team or would like to know more about this exciting avenue of learning, please email the team at marquetterobotics7826@gmail.com.
