What’s new:

The team met for 2 days over the weekend and brainstormed how to best build a sturdy and reliable robot for the upcoming season. This team-building session included fun, food, trivia, laughs, and some stellar robot drawings.

SERT was also in the news for our impact on girls and women in STEM!

What’s on the horizon:

SERT continues our volunteer efforts, and outreach in our community, including modifying toys for children with disabilities, demonstrating our robotics at local schools, and 3D printing gifts for unhoused youth.
