The first Herrick Robotics Club began during the 2013-2014 school year. The goal of the club is to encourage members to use teamwork, problem solving, leadership, and critical thinking skills to build and program Lego Mindstorms EV3 robots. It is open to any 7th or 8th grade student at Herrick Middle School. The club meets Tuesdays after school from December through May. The club will participate in a local competition in March.
