Bolt Into Reading
Written by Claire Szeker on March 01, 2005
As part of Team 230's belief in giving back to the community, the Gaelhawks participates in the Read Across America Program at local elementary schools every year. Members of the team traveled to Booth Hill to showcase the 2005 robot and hold a kick-off for their reading challenge period.
After a demonstration with the previous year's robot, the team presented its informational video explaining more about the FIRST Competition. Later, each team member went to a classroom to read to the students.
After storytime, every child had the chance to ask team members questions about what they had just seen and read. Before leaving Booth Hill, the team stationed its mascot, reading robot Bolt, in the lobby of the school to remind students how important reading is. Congratulations to all!
