Teaneck High School is proud to announce that the THS
Robotics Team was awarded 1st
Place in the state wide Panasonic Creative Design Challenge (CDC) robotics
competition. The members of the THS
Robotics Team include students, William
Milun, Saima Jamal and Itai Epstein
with coaches Mrs. Sharon Bellin and Mr. Rolando Monserrat. The competition is sponsored by a partnership
of Panasonic Corporation and New Jersey Institute of Technology and spans from
the first week of November until the last week of April. This year’s competition started with over 50
New Jersey high schools including public, private, regional and county high
schools. Only 23 high schools that
participated in the Preliminary Challenge made it to the Final Challenge. After earning a perfect score on their
performance in the Final Challenge, the THS Robotics Team received 1st Place as well as Best Design Award. Each student in our
THS Robotics Team received scholarship of $4,000.00, electronics gifts from
Panasonic Corporation as well as the Official Panasonic CDC trophy.
All teams participating in the Final Challenge were required
to complete an Oral Presentation with Q&A, a Research Paper as well as a
Logbook. These previously mentioned components made up 50% of the total points
of the final score. The remaining 50% of
the score is from the performance of the robot in the Final Challenge.
The trophy can currently be viewed in the Main Office at
Teaneck High School.
