TUSD Robotics
End of 2019-2020 Season
Celebrating our Students!
TUSD Robotics students had just spent many months of long hours perfecting code and iterating their robot designs to play in one of our most rigorous and successful seasons to date. At the end of the qualifying season, 31 TUSD Robotics teams made it to the CA State Championships beating last year's record of 23. Pioneer and Hewes Middle Schools were among these teams, making their first debut at a CA championship event. Pioneer ended their season with one team winning the Tournament Finalists Award and the other winning the Design Award at the San Diego CA State Championship event that took place on March 8th, earning their first two tickets to the VEX Robotics World Championships!
From Pioneer teams such as the Potato Chips and the Microchips to the seniors at Beckman High School who won the global "Girl Powered" VEX Online Challenge and were ready to walk across the stage in the Kentucky Exposition Center, TUSD Robotics students grieved the end of a season that came crashing to a close. As difficult of a time this has be for many, the TUSD Robotics community including the Tustin Public Schools Foundation, parents, admin, and teachers wants to congratulate all of the students on your accomplishments, perseverance, and extreme learning that took place this season. We could not be more proud of every team for their ability to work together to solve real problems and could not be more thankful to the coaches for all the efforts in making these opportunities happen for our students.
Remarkably, we already have a group of Beckman High School robotics students and graduates working on getting resources ready to help students this summer and next season. Although we did not get to see how well we would have done at Worlds this year, we come back to the meaning of WHY we are doing all of this in the first place. We have created an ecosystem of learning and support that grows institutional knowledge from our seniors to our elementary students. We do not do this for the wins, although we do not mind the awards, we do this because we love robotics and we love to learn!
