The team is made up of five Anaconda High School students: Caleb Thompson, Liam Barrington, Will Griffis, Jaiden Connors, and Farabeth Barrington; as well as two students from Butte High School: Kaden Dean and Aaliyah Andersch.
The team is mentored by two Montana Tech undergraduate students, Justin Bak and Emily Maynard. At the helm is Carlton Nelson, a teacher from Anaconda High School, who has spent the last 10 years working for Upward Bound as a summer instructor and now serves as the after-school robotics coach.
The students’ performance qualifies them to compete in the state competition Jan. 17, at Montana State University.
