FRESH MEADOWS – Francis Lewis High School, in conjunction with FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), is hosting an off-season robotics event dubbed as "Big Apple Breakaway Scrimmage at Francis Lewis" on October 2 from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Approximately 20 teams from various high schools will compete. Similar to soccer, the object of the game is to attain a higher score than your opponent by shooting balls into a goal. Additional points may be gained by climbing on the alliance tower or platform or by lifting an alliance robot off the playing surface.
This event is one of many ways that Francis Lewis High School Team 3017 is promoting FIRST’s mission: "To inspire young people to be science and technology leaders; by engaging them in exciting mentor-based programs that build science, engineering and technology skills, that inspire innovation, and that foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication, and leadership."
