Robotics Camp Scholarships

We will most likely have money available from the community enrichment program to help defray the costs of the Robotics Summer Camps (I'm 99% sure we will have $75 - $100 per camper available).

The only catch is that the scholarship money will not be available until the end of June. So if you would like to attend, you will have to register and pay the full amount up front (there are only 16 slots available so do it now!).

See Coach Ed for more info.

Hexbug Update

Only a few Hexbug left locally. For online supporters we'll still be selling Hexbugs via Amazon.com and Fishboy.com in boxes of five different Hexbugs:
