The skills of students at J.N.
Burnett Secondary have put them in a bit of a pickle.
The Breakers won the Canadian
Pacific Regional Championships, despite the rookie squad being seeded 35th in a
35-team competition.
Now they’ve been invited to the
2019 FIRST Championship in Houston, Texas—from April 17 to 20—which brings
together tens of thousands of students from around the world who participate in
the K-12 robotics program.
Burnett principal Wennie Walker
said students now are trying to fundraise for the $5,000 US entry fee, along
with airfare and accommodations.
“Our team entered this year
without any corporate sponsorship and the unexpected win has left them with
very little time to fundraise…,” she said.
Anyone who wishes to help out the
team is invited to email Wennie Walker at wwalker@sd38.bc.ca
