St. Vrain Valley Schools is proud to host the state robotics tournaments across three different weekends. This commitment to robotics is unbelievable and we appreciate Trail Ridge Middle School, Altona Middle School and Erie HighSchool for being the host schools of the tournaments.
We are especially happy to recognize that both the student robotics leadership team and the student drone performance team are working together to create the best possible experience for everyone. The robotics leadership team has worked all season hosting tournaments across the district and now are able to share their expertise at the state tournaments. The drone performance team has created
custom drone animations specifically designed to celebrate the world of robotics. Their collaboration and dedication are truly commendable.
As we celebrate our district-wide robotics program, we want to extend a special invitation to all school communities to enjoy these spectacular drone shows
It’s a truly unique and inspiring performance you won’t want to miss!
