10-3-2019 Teams are Making Excellent Progress!

 We have heard the exciting news that FOUR of our teams get to represent North at Regionals this year (Usually we only have funding and space for three).  Teams are working hard to show that they have the core values, robot skills, and innovation to be the best of the NERDS. 

Our eight teams (in no particular order) this year are: 

• Cherry NERDS
• All Flavor NERDS
• Binary NERDS
• NERDSzilla
• NERDS the Smarties
• NERDSy Neon Nachos
• NERDS Qiiwiis
• Meme NERDS

Some excellent things we saw this week: 

The Smarties, QiiWiis, NERDSzilla, and Nachos all have strong foundations for their INNOVATION PROJECTS. This year teams are looking to solve problems with public spaces or buildings in our communities. The Smarties are currently looking into a way to turn park trash into fresh soil, NERDzilla is designing a way to harness the electrical power of the cities public water systems,  The QiiWiis are trying to find a way to stop littering in parks by making trash cans fun and interactive, and the Nachos are looking to solve homelessness. 

In the ROBOT design world we've seen the Nachos and the Binary NERDS already testing their robots on the game field, and the Smarties, QiiWiis, and NERDzilla all have strong base robot designs almost ready to go too. 

All the teams are working hard and making excellent progress!
