The Wissahickon School District's recent work session highlighted an impressive achievement by the high school robotics team, which competed at the World Championship. The team not only showcased their skills but also demonstrated sportsmanship by assisting an international team in need.

During the meeting, a team member shared their experience at the competition, revealing that they reached the semi-finals in their division, Archimedes. Despite facing challenges, including a disqualification due to a teammate's robot getting stuck, the team celebrated their success by winning the prestigious Excellence in Engineering award. This recognition at the world level marks a significant milestone, showcasing the team's hard work and dedication throughout the year.

The student also recounted a memorable moment when they helped a Chinese team troubleshoot a robot issue caused by a short circuit. This act of collaboration underscored the spirit of teamwork that transcends borders, as they worked alongside teams from Mexico and China to solve problems during the competition.

The robotics team's journey not only reflects their technical abilities but also highlights the importance of community and support in competitive environments. As they continue to build on this experience, the district looks forward to further achievements in future competitions.
