History. Made.

@IslanderRobots hosted GISH's first-ever robotics tournament last month, the "Clash on the Platte".

Here's a fun video recapping all the excitement and hard work our Islanders put into the landmark event.

This week, we hosted GRIT Robotics, our annual middle school summer camp. During this time, our high school students mentored middle schoolers about engineering, electronics, and coding. @GIPublicSchools @GishActivities

And that’s a wrap. 8151G didn’t make it to elims, but was the first team from GISH to qualify for the state tournament! They finished 34th by rank and 25th in the state on their skills scores. This deserves a picture in front of the robosaurus! @GIPublicSchools @GishActivities
