JACKSON, Wyo. — The JH RoboBroncs FIRST Team #3374 stepped it up this month when asked to assist the Jackson Hole High School Key Club in wrangling mittens for elementary kids at the Wyoming Indian Elementary School.
Mark Pommer, leader of the Key Club at JHHS, recently led a group of students to help out at the Wyoming Indian Elementary School. After witnessing the joy of children playing outside he noticed a major problem: few kids had appropriate winter clothes, and almost none of them had mittens to play outside in. Pommer asked the JH RoboBroncs if they could help.
Over the course of two weeks, the JH RoboBroncs FIRST Team #3374 led a “Winter Mittens Drive” collecting 171 pairs of gloves, 12 boots, 55 hats, nine face covers/scarves, and 31 jackets.
“We thank all the RoboBronc students and families who donated and participated in this drive towards spreading the holiday spirit to our neighbors in Wind River,” Pommer said.
Next up for the JH RoboBroncs FIRST Team #3374 this week:
Tuesday at Hand Fire Pizza – It’s Pizza for a Robotics Purpose! Stop by and grab a large Hand Fired Pizza on the way home. A portion of the proceeds go directly to the JH RoboBroncs.
Thursday evening at JHHS – The public is invited to Celebrate Robotics! at the Annual JH RoboBroncs Showcase Open House. Come see the big robots, check out the drive team in action, meet the local mentors, and tour the robotics lab.
