Robotics Team hosts first citywide scrimmage

In October, our Browning Robotics Team hosted its first-ever FIRST Tech Challenge scrimmage for the New York City region at the School. The event saw more than 140 students from across city schools, including Trinity, Nightingale, Poly Prep, Saint Ann’s, and several STEM schools, come together to enjoy an action-packed day of matches and learning.

The entire event was created, planned, and executed by our Browning boys. Several of them also hosted workshops, where they taught the teams in attendance how to build and program robots, as well as the rules and strategies of the game. “Our boys exhibited gracious professionalism throughout the day,” Coach Melodie Ting said. “They thoroughly enjoyed hosting, as they embodied the mission of Browning by assisting other teams, and providing them with sources of inspiration for their design and code.”
