Many of the offseason events that Ferradermis, the Whitewater High School Robotics Team, participates in have a community service aspect to them, and this upcoming weekend’s competition at Muskego High School is no different. On Saturday, October 12, Ferradermis members will be competing in TWIST (Together Women in STEM Thrive) hosted by Team 6421 the WarriorBots with 28 teams from Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Illinois. As part of the event, teams are encouraged to bring new, unopened LEGO sets to be donated to Children’s Hospital in Milwaukee.
Teams with the most donations will win the opportunity to dress one of their mentors in a blow-up unicorn costume for a human player match, and Ferradermis’ Head Coach Mark Zimmermann has graciously agreed to take part in this match if the team can collect enough donations.
The team is reaching out to the Whitewater community in hopes that community members will help us reach our goal. New, unopened LEGO sets can be dropped off this week during the school day at Whitewater High School or given to any team member. Amazon orders could be sent directly to Laura Masbruch at Whitewater High School, 534 S Elizabeth St, Whitewater, WI 53190.
