Empowering Robotics Students for Over 20 Years

SCH has been empowering robotics students for 20 years! We celebrated the anniversary of robotics last week through Upper School STEM panels, a Robotics Lab open house, and a presentation of alumni and faculty awards. At the evening celebration, our community honored the incredible co-founders and leaders of the program, Peter Randall ‘69 and Rob Ervin H’08 with “Lifetime Achievement Awards.” This dynamic duo not only grew the Robotics and Engineering Department to involve more than 150 students a year, but they also taught and mentored thousands of students who went on to top-notch engineering programs and careers. The evening also recognized several other award winners—alumni, parents, and friends of robotics—who have played a critical role in the success of the program over the years. 

You may have caught the many news items about robotics in recent months, the feature in SCHool magazine, or the alumni spotlights. You can read all of this, as well as takeaways from the STEM panels, view a photo collection from the day, and see videos about Randall and Ervin’s spectacular influence on our robotics webpage.
