Our students at Lane have competed all the way to the World Championship for Robotics for the past two years. Lane Tech is the only school in the district (there are 664 schools) that has a robotics team that has ever competed at this level. No other school in Chicago has ever done this before. IHSA has broadened its guidelines to allow chess and drama to be included as an IHSA recognized activity but has yet to include robotics. Due to the competitive nature of robotics, we would like the IHSA to consider officially recognizing and including FIRST Robotics. Please take a minute out of your day to sign the following petition for the IHSA to include Robotics. This would mean a great deal to our students and school.
