The LigerBots are attending two events this weekend: Whole Foods on Saturday and Newtonville Village Day on Sunday. Volunteers are still needed! If interested, please contact Lauren.

The first meeting of the new school year will be Thursday Sept. 8, 6:30PM at Newton North.

The meeting this week will be at 7:30 PM, Tuesday Aug 5th, at Coach Rensing’s house.

The LigerBots have been going to Beantown Blitz since before the team was officially formed. The 2008 Beantown Blitz was our inaugural “pre-rookie” competition and the event that launched the team.

This year’s Beantown Blitz is Saturday, June 18th at Revere High School. Opening ceremonies begin at 8:15 am and matches begin at 8:30 am. The lunch break is 1 – 2 pm and matches and then playoffs continue in the afternoon until 5 or 6 pm.

Interested in LigerBots? Information Meeting on June 2

For students interested in technology, business, graphic design, public speaking, grant writing, STEM, or just a cool student activity, the LigerBots, Newton's award-winning combined South and North high school robotics team, offers all those opportunities and more.

There will be a meeting for interested students on Thursday, June 2, 6:30 – 8:30PM, in the Newton South wood shop, Room 9170. This will be a hands-on evening for prospective team members (including rising freshmen), with opportunities to drive a robot, use power tools, do engineering challenge games, be part of a new social media campaign and participate in other activities to help students see what makes the LigerBots a top robotics team.

Dessert will be served. For more information, email [email protected].
