The Whitewater Community Foundation is proud to support the WUSD
Robotics Program. There are currently robotics teams at all buildings in the
District. The WCF recently presented a $1,500 Community Action Grant that
will provide funding to purchase an additional Spike Prime robot for the First
LEGO League (FLL) programs in all three elementary schools: “Lincoln Brick
Layers” (Lisa Kaminski, Advisor), “Washington Brick Layers” (Chris Nate and
Valerie Troxel, Advisors) and “Lakeview Bricklayers” (Sara Brautigam,
Advisor). The students build their robots from kits called Spike Prime but
have to stylize them and build additional mechanisms from LEGOs to complete
assigned tasks. The students must then program the robots to give their
robots movement directions. The High School students from Ferradermis
Team #6574 act as mentors for the younger students in the program. The
High School program began with some financing from the School District but
most of their money comes from grants, corporate sponsorships and
donations. If you would like to donate to this amazing program, you may do so
on the Foundation’s website at www.whitewatercommunityfoundation.org by
clicking on the “DONATE” tab and scrolling down to “Ferradermis First
Robotics Team #6574”. With your help, this wonderful program will continue
to grow and thrive.
