One month to TSA Nationals and we're halfway to our funding goal! We are in our last push to fund this for 17 awesome kids. $1300 fully sends one kid!

Our North MS TSA chapter has 17 awesome kids who have earned spots at this year's National Conference. We need your help to get them there! Can you or your company sponsor our team? https://t.co/j6isLo0Y5B All donations are appreciated! @EPS_NorthMS

These kids have worked so hard this year and I am so proud to be one of the coaches of this team. They earned their spot at State by winning the THINK award, which is given by judges to a team that "Successfully removes engineering obstacles through creative thinking"

10 hours into our first FTC interleague event! The @EPS_NorthMS teams are still having a blast!

[Christine Phippard @phippyphipp]

Here's a video of a great match where the @ftc_19834 Cybernetic Narwhals and 21312 Volt Beasts were on opposing alliances. Fun to see both robots on the field at once!☮️💕🤖

[Christine Phippard @phippyphipp]

Our first FTC League Meet is in the books! Our @EPS_NorthMS robotics teams had a great time! @ftc_19834 Cybernetic Narwhals scored the event high score, 99 points, ending this meet in 5th. 21312 Volt Beasts are 7th! Best of all, our robots had fun and met many new robot allies.

[Christine Phippard @phippyphipp]

Our rookie and almost entirely 6th grade team, the Volt Beasts held their own alongside a bunch of high school teams, strategizing with alliance partners, scouting other teams, and learning tons!

[Christine Phippard @phippyphipp]

@EPS_EvergreenMS @EPS_NorthMS It was a bummer to have our event postponed, but we had a blast driving with multiple robots on the field, and great fun learning from Evergreen FTC and sharing ideas. The teams did a lot of problem solving together which is what @FIRSTweets @first_wa is all about.

[Christine Phippard @phippyphipp]

The windstorm knocked out power at our FTC event, so we spent the day hosting @EPS_EvergreenMS FTC at @EPS_NorthMS for some collaboration, fun, robot work time and scrimmaging.

[Christine Phippard @phippyphipp]

It was so fun to see all the different reactions as the robots delivered candy to all the families and kids!

[Christine Phippard @phippyphipp]

Toasty and Gadget, the robots of FTC Team 21312 The Volt Beasts and @ftc_19834 Cybernetic Narwhals, had a ton of fun handing out candy at our @EPS_NorthMS Trunk or Treat and Scarecrow Social. Tons of kids and adults met enjoyed meeting the robots.
