Saint James School Builds the B.E.S.T. The Saint James School Robotics Team competed at the War Eagle B.E.S.T. (Boosting Engineering Science and Technology) Robotics competition October 27-28, against 22 other teams from east central Alabama and west Georgia. The Saint James team earned high commendations in four different categories during the competition. The dedicated group of students brought home several awards from B.E.S.T.: The Founder’s Award for Creative Robot Design, first place; Exhibit and Interview Award, third place; Team Exhibit Design & Construction Award, third place; and BEST Award, third place. Additionally, the Saint James Team received awards of 4th place in Engineering Notebook, 4th place for Marketing Presentation, and 5th place for Spirit and Sportsmanship. In six short weeks, the Saint James robotics team studied simulation software and programmed their robot. They designed a website, wrote a 50-page engineering notebook, designed an exhibit to showcase their robot, and promoted their “engineering company” through a formal marketing presentation they prepared complete with digital components. In preparation for the competition, the STJ robotics students exhibited their robot and shared information on B.E.S.T. at various school events including a volleyball game, a football game, and the school’s Fall Festi-
val. Additionally, the team invited the Saint James Middle School Robotics Team to the high school lab and taught them about the B.E.S.T. program and this year’s Saint James robot. The Saint James Robotics Team includes Janice Cho, Greyson Cruse, Hayden Cruse, Jake Hastings, Trinity
Hunter, Nayoon Kang, Edward Kim, Jin Kim, Luke Kim, Minji Kim, Sam Lee, Mitch Mathews, Will Moore, Andrew Nam, Alex Orellana, Gayeon Paek, Jonghyun Park. Vicky Eichelberg is the robotics teacher and sponsor. She, as well as robotics coaches Dr. Ousley and Mr. Hawk, are pictured with the 2017 STJ Robotics Team.
