Congratulations to the MPArors, who won the Engineering Inspiration award—one of the most prestigious awards in FIRST Robotics—at the Lake Superior Regional Robotics competition in Duluth!
“I can’t even write about this without getting emotional,” said coach Marc Shapiro. “Our team members were overjoyed to receive this award. The team members did everything with enthusiasm and focus. I am extremely proud not only of what they accomplished, but also of how they accomplished it.”
We are so proud of the MPArors for winning the award that “celebrates a team who demonstrates outstanding success in advancing respect and appreciation for engineering.” What a reward for the hard work that the team has put in outside of the Robotics lab, spreading a passion for STEM in the community!
