Our veterans and new team members are busy getting to know each other and learning about the various STEAM competition events. They've already started working on our upcoming FTC, Future City, and Greenpower events. Welcome also to all our new STEAM parents! The weekly STEAM Update Newsletter will be your go-to source for current information about practices, events, and volunteer opportunities. We're looking forward to a great year getting to know new members and building a strong team!

If you haven't yet, please sign up for the new 2025-26 Steam REMIND group. Ms. Snider will use this platform to communicate up-to-the minute info for our team. To join the new 2025-26 HCMS STEAM Remind click here https://www.remind.com/join/f23e6ab.

Our students come to practice hungry after school! We rely on parent donations to keep our snack cupboard stocked with simple, healthy snacks to keep our team fed and focused! Please check the Signup Genius below and choose a date to provide snacks for our team. Donations can be sent in with your student or dropped off at the school. Thank you!

FTC robotics will participate in an FTC Build Day on Saturday, September 20 10:00am-2:00pm hosted at Adtran Conference Center (901 Explorer Blvd NW.) Teams from around the region gather to work on robots, exchange ideas, meet other teams, and watch demonstrations. Parents please plan to attend with your students. You are welcome to come and stay for the whole event, or please plan on at least a 2-hour block. Students can notify Ms. Snider of the time they plan to attend. It is a great day of learning and team building!

STEAM Parent Boosters will be running a concession stand at the FTC Build event to raise money for our team. Additional adult volunteers are needed to assist with the concession stand - please sign up for a 2-hour block below if you are available to help. This is a great chance to get to know other STEAM Parents and learn more about the FTC community.
