Bridgman High School / Extra Curricular Activities

Art Club Advisor: Mr. Zapor

Art Club is a group of students who share a common interest in art. Art Club promotes creativity, community, and art production. During meetings we create projects that are beyond what you would create in a regular art class ranging from pumpkin carving to community murals. Additionally, we ask art professionals to attend some meetings to discuss their careers. Past speakers include a Tattoo Artist, TV Makeup Artist, and a Textile Designer. Art Club provides activities for students of all levels of interests and abilities. You do not have to have any prior art experience to join the Art Club. Art Club meets every other week throughout the school year in the Art Room.

FIRST Robotics (a joint team with neighboring schools) Mr. K. Russell, Mentor - FRC #2959 CW Tech Robotarians www.robotarians.org

This past weekend the CW Tech Robotarians, FRC team #2959, competed in their second event of the season at Grand Valley State University. The team put a lot of hard work into improving the robot and award presentations since the St Joseph event. The effort paid off with significantly improved robot performance and smoother presentations.

The team ended in 19th place after qualifications and was selected by the number 5 alliance to compete in eliminations. The alliance had a strong potential to win the event, but some robot problems hampered the performance. The alliance was eliminated after their first round win.

With the team's competition season ended, they will now turn to off season activities. Outreach to spread the word about team 2959 and FIRST throughout all of their communities. Robot analysis and testing for better future performance, including participating in off season competitions. Recruiting new members and training any interested (e.g. CAD, programming, wiring, etc.).

FIRST Robotics Competition team #2959, the CW Tech Robotarians; is an award winning multi-school team formed to design, build and compete in HS level robotics games. A new game each year requires a new robot to tackle the challenges. We also need artists, writers, and spirit to market the team and cheer them on to the win!

We meet Mon-Fri 5:30 pm - 8 pm/Sat 11 am - 5 pm. Build space at Ausco Products, Inc (Door 19); 2245 Pipestone Rd.
