March Madness
Helping Youth Pursue Engineering and Robotics is what Quincy's robotics team named HYPER stands for. A record 7,000+ youth were doing just that this past weekend at Boston's FIRST Regional meet held at Boston University. This year's sporting event for young minds provided a thrilling competition that inspires young people to pursue careers as scientists and engineers and promotes a spirit of "gracious professionalism" that is too often lost in our focus on sports. P&G Gillette has been the sponsor for Quincy's team #69 for 11 years and their engineers worked in partnership with the teachers and students for 6 weeks building the robot pictured here. More than 1500 teams worldwide are competing in this year's game called "Overdrive".

Young people ages 9-14 were gathered at North Quincy High School this past Saturday for FIRST's Lego League competition. These young people work together after school, under adult supervision, building an autonomous robot out of legos. In this yearly challenge, they learn a lot, have a lot of fun and get some hands-on experience with engineering, science and technology. Many call it "sporting for the mind." This program is a stepping stone for the high school robotics program. Many members of Quincy's Robotics Team, called HYPER (Helping Youth Pursue Engineering & Robotics) are working the equipment and helping to run this regional meet, which gives them points towards the prestigious "Chairman's Award." This is a global program, so if you ever see it in your area, make sure to check it out. I think you'll enjoy it.
