	McKinney STEAM Academy (MSA) We have been invited to attend the Frisco Rough Riders STEM fundraiser! Every game ticket sold through our link raises funds for our students! We will be there with our robots, answering the public’s questions. Be sure to stop by and say “Hi!” while you’re there. Purchase Deadline: May 10, 2024, 7:05 p.m. CDT
	FIRST ROBOTICS COMPETITION (FRC) Our showing at Belton has left us in an extremely strong position to qualify for state, which is less than a week after our Amarillo competition. In order to avoid a last-minute rush, we’re collecting the registration fees mentioned in the parent presentation (slide 18). Our costs will come to $200 per student. This can be paid directly to Zelle: cha...@mercenaryrobotics.com or Venmo: Charles-goodman-17  Your family can also use the Givebutter campaign to create a customized link to share the cost with friends and family. When you visit the link, click on +Fundraise to create a customized link so that donations are credited to your student. https://givebutter.com/6369State_2024 If this is in any way a hardship for your family, please don't hesitate to contact us, and we'll figure out a solution. __________________________ Extra shirt and hoodie orders will only be open for a couple more days. Order them soon. https://forms.gle/Xd2me3mgWJzvMtjU7 This Week: General Schedule:  Have your student check Google Chat to coordinate with their teammates.  Monday - Drive base 6-9 Tuesday - Software 6-9 Wednesday - Whole Team 6-9 Thursday - Whole team except software 6-9 Saturday - Whole team 9-6 Important Dates: March 28-30 FRC - Amarillo District Event April 3-6 Texas State Championship Helpful Links: Belton photos, please add yours!: https://photos.app.goo.gl/e7uAMGHP9DnT5wNQ7  The Blue Alliance competition summary: https://www.thebluealliance.com/team/6369 2024 FRC 6369 FIRST IMPACT Video Reveal: https://youtu.be/9fTUe3eEfWc?featre=shared Build Season Photos: http://tinyurl.com/yc2s48mz
