Sumner Newscow report — Cowley College’s Sumner Campus in Wellington will host the Fourth Annual Robotics Challenge on April 27 and 28, 2023. The event has grown every year, and this year it will expand into a two-day event. The Robotics Challenge is free to attend and open to the public.

The Robotics Challenge aims to inspire and provide students with an opportunity to learn about robotic technology, write computer programs, code, be creative, learn to work as a team, follow complex directions, be detail-oriented, make better decisions, and solve problems.

This year’s Robotics Challenge will feature 29 teams from 14 schools. The Basic Competition will start on April 27 at 9 a.m., followed by the Advanced Competition on April 28 at 9 a.m. Schools represented in the competition include Arkansas City Middle School, Belle Plaine Middle School, Caldwell Middle School, Clearwater Intermediate and Middle School, Oxford Middle School, South Haven Middle School, Wellington Christian, Wellington Eisenhower Elementary, and Wellington Middle School.
