Elementary Schools Compete in VEX Robotics Competition

Over 120 students representing twelve Catholic Elementary Schools in the Archdiocese of Hartford competed in a VEX Robotics competition on Saturday, February 4, 2023 at Saint Matthew School in Forestville. Student teams designed and built robots and then worked together with other school teams to strategize the best way to collect points in one-minute rounds. In addition to advancing students STEM learning, this competition exposed them to effective communion, collaboration, and time-management skills in an fast-paced and purposeful way.
