In the Lower School Dining Commons, GFA community members gathered to applaud the remarkable achievements of the upper and middle school GFA Dragonoid Robotics teams in their first year competing in the VEX Robotics league. The evening was filled with awards—from the heartfelt to the humorous—alongside a captivating demonstration by team members showcasing the robots in action. Amidst the shared snacks and conversations, we celebrated with the presentation of the Captains Awards, MVP Awards, and medals alongside certificates.
Highlighting the event, the Dragonoid Upper School teams were honored with The Allan Wallack STEM Learning Center Outreach award from the town of Bridgeport, a testament to their dedicated involvement in hosting robotics presentations and workshops across Bridgeport schools over the years.
The celebration reached a poignant moment as Charlotte Wagner, the current Club Captain, passed the torch by announcing Adeline Thompson and Barrett Bachner as the Co-Captains for the upcoming year. Congratulations to all team members for a memorable 2023-2024 season. Here's to looking forward to another year of innovation, teamwork, and success in robotics.
