Anderson County Robotics team wins state championship, headed to World Championship

 

Teenagers are usually getting criticized in the media for doing all sorts of bad things, like bullying, fighting or doing drugs, etc., but these teenagers from Anderson County are doing great things and we should applaud them!

Anderson County Library’s Teen Vex Robotics Team has won the state championship and are headed to the World Championships in Dallas this May.

The four-student team, Isabel Feldkamp, Cara Griesemere, Sam Smith, and Banks Criswell, applied coding techniques, robot design and engineering journal principles to win the S.C. Vex Robotics Championships earlier this year.

Team Coach Dr. Wanda Staggers, Anderson Institute of Technology, and Library Services Teen Director Rachel Da Silva have worked with the students and are helping them prepare and raise funds for the big event.

Congratulations to these teenagers doing great things! When I was a teenager, well, never mind… We’ll just say finding trouble and playing sports were my major accomplishments. They are making much better decisions and are way smarter than I’ll ever be. Keep up the great work kids!
