Intermediate Robotics Klub Formed
Paradise Intermediate recently selected students for the Intermediate Robotics Klub (IRok). IRoK is a club where students are given the chance to create a program and robot to perform a specific task. This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to problem solve using technology. There was an enormous interest in IRoK. We had 99 students who indicated they wanted to try out for the team. A great job was done by everyone who entered an application. Congratulations to those who made the team.
