MASSENA -- The Massena Central school board on Thursday approved a robotics field trip to Montreal in March.
The team will participate in an international event March 22-25 where they will build a robot that will compete against other schools’ creations and possibly win awards, high school Principal Sarah Boyce said.
“The more that these students can compete, the better they get,” she told the board.
They voted 7-0 to allow the trip. They are required to vote on any overnight school events or journeys outside the country.
Boyce also notified the board of a second upcoming robotics event and a music field trip.
The robotics team will attend the New York Tech Valley Regional robotics competition at RPI near Albany in March.
To help pay for their trips, the robotics team has been selling 3d printed keychains. They have also received donations from local businesses and people.
The music department is planning a trip later in the year to see “Wicked” on broadway and sightsee in Manhattan. They raised more than $10,000 from cookie dough sales earlier in the school year, Boyce said. They will still have to pay $514 per students.
