Schweitzer is part of the Madison Community of Schools, and that was
evident on at the elementary school's recent Fall Festival when the
Madison High School Robotics Team amazed the crowds with its "basketball
shooting" robot. The robotics team, the Devil Duckies, were wonderful
representatives of their high school and have participated for the last
few years in this popular Clairemont family-friendly day for play.
The
Robotics Team is connected with the Design and Technology Academy
(DATA) at Madison High and supported through the Office of College,
Career and Technical Education. The students completely build their
robot each year based on the parameters of the FIRST competition over a
period of six weeks. Madison’s team is sponsored by Motorola Solutions
Foundation and Qualcomm. In last year’s competition, they won the
chairman’s award in a Southern California competition. This earned them
the privilege of attending the world competition in St. Louis where they
won the imagery award.
Building on community involvement and
school awareness is one of the major goals of the Madison Community of
Schools coalition, and this event is the perfect example of how our
cluster schools are working together for the success of all our students
and families!
