CFB Special Olympics 2017

Athletes Compete In Many Events in the 2017 Special Olympics

On Mar. 23, the CFBISD All-Stars competed in the 2017 Special Olympics at Standridge Stadium. Athletes from several North Texas school districts made the journey to Standridge to participate in the games. Representatives from Congressman Kenny Marchant’s office; Carrollton Mayor, Matthew Marchant; Superintendent, Dr. Bobby Burns; and Miss Texas, Caroline Carothers spoke at the event.

While the wind was very gusty on an otherwise beautiful day, the athletes followed the Special Olympics motto: Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.

The Perry Robotics Club traveled to Norman, Oklahoma this past weekend (March 25th) to compete in the multi-state Oklahoma Botball regional competition. Botball is an extremely challenging autonomous robotics competition for middle school and high school students. There are no division lines and middle school students must compete directly against high school students. The students have nearly 2 1/2 months to design, build, program, document and test up to two robots to compete in a very challenging competition. The robots the students build are 100% autonomous (no remote control) and are programmed by the students in a real-world programming language called "C". The competition is divided into three parts: seeding rounds, double elimination and a documentation and oral presentation. These scores are combined to get a team's overall score. DeWitt Perry sent 4 teams including a team composed exclusively of Perry alumni from Turner and Creekview called "Perry 2.0". When the dust settled, of the top 5 teams (out of 48), 3 were from CFBISD

Girls Inspired to Pursue Engineering Opportunities

On Mar. 1, Employees from ExxonMobil celebrated “Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day” at the Irving Convention Center, inspiring students to pursue engineering interests. By inviting more than 50 DFW-area middle school girls to take part in many interactive demonstrations of engineering in action, the students were able to learn about many career paths within the engineering profession. Presenters from the Perot Museum of Nature and Science aided in the presentations. Among those in attendance were students from Dan F. Long Middle School, who put their innovative thinking skills to the test as they built marble roller coasters and created marshmallow launchers during the annual event.
