Richland One School Wins Robotics
Competition
Richland One congratulates
the team from Keenan High School that won the
Chairman’s award at this weekend’s
FIRST Palmetto Regional Robotics Competition.
Keenan’s Robo-Raiders designed a robot
that competed against 47 competitors from SC
and other states. The team captured the Regional
Chairman’s Award, the most prestigious
honor that can be won in the competition for
their remarkable efforts to spread the message
of FIRST and excite others about science and
technology. That honor makes them eligible
to compete in the FIRST Robotics international
competition April 27 -29 in Atlanta. This is
the third consecutive year that the Robo-Raiders
have received an award to qualify them for
the international competition. The goal of
the FIRST Robotics competition is to stimulate
students’ interest in science and technology.
The district extends its best wishes to the
members of the Keenan Robo-Raiders. Their names
are listed below. The team is coached by (Mr.
Alvin Pressley (Dean of Academics), Dr. Martin
Cwiakala (Math/Engineering Teacher), Mr. KaReem
Beckett (Science/Engineering Teacher), Mrs.
Kirstin Bullington (Science Teacher), Mrs.
Peggy Cwiakala (Volunteer), and Mr. Carl Taylor
