Outreach Events


Freshman Carnival

The Freshman Carnival is a yearly event at our school that gives new students the opportunity to explore and interact with a wide variety of St. Anthony’s clubs. It also provides us with a great opportunity to introduce our robotics team to freshmen who may not have known about it otherwise and to recruit new, enthusiastic members.

Open House

The St. Anthony's open house is a chance for the club to introduce ourselves to the incoming class of freshman. The event is a great oppurtunity to showcase the integration of S.T.E.M. in our school. This event is also an amazing opertunity for recruitment to the robotics team.

Meetings With Chris Aliperti

This year, we welcomed Chris Aliperti to our team as a mentor. Chris is the youngest engineer at the United States Military Academy at West Point. We met with him via Zoom to discuss robot design and various engineering principles, gaining valuable insight that will support our development efforts.
