This week, elementary and secondary students from all over YRDSB came together for the 3rd Annual Differentiated Access Robotics Expo (D.A.R.E.) at Bill Crothers Secondary School for a hands-on day of STEM learning and robotics challenges.
This year's D.A.R.E. event continues its mission to engage community class students in grades 4 and up, in five different activities. Students used mini robot balls to complete a series of challenges, which included mini-putt, soccer, wrestling, obstacle courses, artwork and everyone's favourite, a dance party! With an emphasis on inclusivity and teamwork, the event creates an accessible space for all students to explore the exciting world of technology.
As participants took part in robotics challenges and STEM activities, they not only worked on technical skills but also learned the value of working together towards a common goal. The event has become a highlight for students and teachers, showcasing the power of education to bring out creativity, problem-solving and innovation in all students.
The D.A.R.E. Expo ensures that each student has the opportunity to shine, fostering an environment where everyone can grow, learn and connect through the magic of robotics.
