This past Saturday was the last day of the Midwest Regional! Here's a look at our drawing boards for Saturday, according to you, movies based on books are better than books based on movies! Thanks to everyone that came by to interact with us and the boards! @IllinoisFIRST #FRC

Today we helped host a blood drive at our school alongside @Rotary Chicago Citywide Service and @RedCross! Some of our very own members stuck around to help out as well as donate some blood! Thanks to everyone who came out to donate and being a hero! #BloodDonation
