The
word is getting out that our Robotics Program is flourishing – This chart shows how the
program has expanded the past 4 years. The number of students in the graph represent
the number of grade 8’s entering Western into the reserved Robotics pathway.
The team is presently gearing up for a Skilled Trades Showcase promoting Robotics to elementary students. Our presentations are well received, getting the highest ranking from elementary students as per the T.D.S.B. Research and Data Collection Department.
Great engineering and innovation happens at Western!
