Feat Boba Bots (Mills Robotics Team): Led by Michael Huang (12) and Veronica Turner (12), the Boba Bots are Mills’ robotics team that competes in the First Robotics Competition (FRC). FRC is a robotics competition where high school teams from all over the nation gather and compete in different games. Aside from competing in the FRC, the Mills Robotics Team promotes Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) and robotics within the community, often participating in community events and presenting at local middle schools. This year they have transitioned to a digital curriculum format, preparing exciting and unique activities for new and returning members. Despite the pandemic cancelling in-person robotics competitions, the team plans to attend a number of digital competitions and events to digitally display their robot. They are currently attending Calgames 2020, a now digital robotics competition, with the hope of winning the team imagery award. No prior experience is needed to join, as they are always happy to see new members! They can be contacted through their email at mrtteam253@ gmail.com. Their club meeting times are Tuesdays and Fridays every week, from 2:45-4:00pm.
Mills Math Team: Led by Bryce Wang (12), Ethan Robson (12), and Noel Lkhagvatsogt(12), the Mills Math Team teaches algebra, geometry, number theory, and probability in order to prepare its members for math competitions. Every week, there is either a lesson on one of the four main principles of math or a set of practice problems from previous math competitions. Mills Math Team attends many math competitions throughout the year, including the American Mathematics Competition (AMC), MathWorks Math Modeling Challenge (M3C), and the Berkeley Math Tournament (BMT). Their main objective is to strengthen their members’ math skills in order to prepare everyone for competitions. Anyone is welcome and you do not have to be good at math to join! Meetings are held every Monday afterschool from 3:30 to 4:30. You can contact them through their Remind by texting @millsmaths to 81010 or by emailing Bryce Wang at 21wangb95@stu.smuhsd.org
