This past Tuesday a group of LigerBots had the opportunity to act as guides at the eighth annual Newton Inspires, an annual fundraiser for the Newton Schools Foundation. Since 2011, Newton Inspires has gathered Newton residents for a showcase of Newton’s talent, creativity, and intellect. Some of the best and brightest from Newton come to give fascinating speeches on their areas of expertise to crowds of local residents.

The LigerBots did outreach in the cafeteria before the speeches started and then helped the attendees find their way through the (at times confusing) halls of Newton South High School to get to their speech events.

During our outreach, eleven LigerBots had lots of fun speaking with entrepreneurs, lawyers, engineers, and trailblazers from our hometown. We demonstrated our 2016 robot while the attendees enjoyed great local food from Anna’s Taqueria, Blue Ribbon Barbeque, Panera, Sweet Tomatoes, Rancatore’s, L’aroma, and more.

Newton Inspires is a great way for us to give back to the Newton Schools Foundation, our parent organization, which has been an incredible supporter of the LigerBots through the years.

A huge thanks to Newton Schools Foundation, and we look forward to the next Newton Inspires!
