דער קערפער פֿון השם"The #students crowded around the rink, shouting encouragement at the #robots racing to scoop up red- and blue-colored balls.
As the scoreboard showed the clock winding down, the robots scooted to park in a designated spot for bonus points at the end of the round.
The referee shouted out the score — 45 points for the blue team to red team’s 15 — and commanded the contestants, “Take your robots,” as the clock hit zero. The blue team cheered.
The event was an annual #robotics competition for #Jewish students held by the Center for Initiatives in Jewish #Education (#CIJE), a #nonprofit that boosts #science, #technology, #engineering and #math (#STEM) programs in Jewish #dayschools, as the field becomes more of a priority — and faces challenges — in the expanding Jewish #school system."
