To the editor:
The Hillsborough Public Library congratulates the Hillsborough Roboraiders Team 75 on winning the prestigious Regional Chairman’s Award at the Mid-Atlantic F.I.R.S.T. Robotics FRC Regional Championship in Philadelphia.
This award was created to maintain focus on changing culture in ways that would inspire greater levels of respect and honor for science and technology, as well as encourage more of today’s youth to become scientists, engineers and technologists. The Chairman’s Award honors the team that best embodies the goals and purpose of F.I.R.S.T. and is a model for other teams to emulate.
The library was honored to coordinate with the Roboraiders on presenting a township science fair in March during Technology Innovation Week. More than 200 attended this science fair and we hope in some way this contributed to your success. We wish you lots of luck at the F.I.R.S.T. Championship in St. Louis!
