ROBOT REBOUND
The Knoch Robotics team demonstrated their robot May 9 at the South Butler School Board meeting. The team worked for about six weeks to build the robot to compete in March in the Rebound Rumble, part of the Pittsburgh FIRST robotics competition at the University of Pittsburgh. District staff partnered with Ellen Fogel of Penn State Extension to get $4,000 from JCPenney, Butler 4-H, FIRST Robotics and the H.J. Heinz Co. Foundation for the Knoch students. Teachers Michael Losk, Timothy Markwell and Zach Smith mentored the team. submitted photo
