On Thursday, October
15, 2015, the Chester High School Robotics Team was honored for their work this
past spring at the Chester Upland School District’s school board meeting at the
administration building. On April 25, 2015, the Chester High School Robotics
Team, known as the “Chester Orcas” participated in their second consecutive Sea
Perch competition. With the help of their Mentor/WHOI Research Scientist Dr.
Richard Camilli and Coach/CHS Biology Instructor Dr. Roslyn March-Amegadzie,
they created a Sea Perch that was surely going to bring them some attention
this year. The Sea Perch was said to have been “faster, swifter, and easier to
control this year” by one Orca. With 44 schools in this year’s competition, the
Chester Orcas ranked #15.
The Orcas have participated in the Greater SeaPerch
Challenge several times during the past ten years that the competition has
taken place. This year’s team members
are Donte Johnson, Willie Mallory III, Mohammed Ragaa, Emmanuel Rodriguez,
Jessica Vega, and Shamour Young with Roslyn March-Amegadzie as the coach.
The goal of the seaperch challenge is to give
students an overall experience in the engineering process and to increase
interest in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and robotics. The Chester High School Robotics Team
participated in the pool performance challenge, the notebook challenge, and the
poster presentation challenge.
Forty-four schools entered the competition. Overall, using scores from the three
challenges, Chester High School’s robotic team was ranked #15.
