Hazelwood Central High School is hosting a FIRST Robotics Open House to demonstrate and highlight the significance of the program and its impact on students, mentors and volunteers.
The FIRST Robotics Open House is November 16 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. in the Professional Learning Center, located at the end of C-Hall. The open house will serve to advance the understanding of how FIRST guides students to choose careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. There will be robotics demonstrations, competition matches, an opportunity to meet robotics teams, and learn how to become a mentor, sponsor or volunteer. Participating high school teams include Hazelwood Central, Hazelwood West, University City, Gateway Institute of Technology, O’Fallon and Bishop DuBourg.
FIRST – For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology – is a “thrilling and unique spectator sport experience in which teams of high school students solve an engineering design challenge through imagination, dedication, teamwork and the help of their robotic friends.”
The FIRST robotics programs represent HSD values of implementing innovative solutions while dismantling ideas that are no longer working for students, forming partnerships with parents and community members to ensure the success of each student and creating an inclusive learning climate that meets the needs of a diverse community.
Hazelwood Central High School is located at 15875 New Halls Ferry Road in Florissant.
