A fundraising effort is underway to help two teams of high school students in The Dalles attend a robotics national championship competition in Council Bluffs, Iowa in late March. It will cost an estimated $11,818 to get the teams System Overload and Irrelevant to the event. Wasco County Extension STEM Outreach Program Coordinator Lu Seapy says the students have been working in robotics programs since middle school to get to this point, and they have a couple of fundraising efforts starting up, including doing yard work for donations and a Krispy Kreme donut fundraiser. To help, go to either the Wasco County 4-H Oregon or The Dalles High School Robotics Facebook page.
