🤖🏆CELEBRATING EXCELLENCE IN STEM🏆🤖

During last week’s board meeting, the Martin County School Board and Superintendent Michael Maine proudly recognized FRC 180 S.P.A.M. Robotics for an unforgettable season of innovation, teamwork, and achievement. 👏

The team earned Regional Championship titles in Orlando and South Florida, received multiple honors, including the Excellence in Engineering and Autonomous Awards, and finished as division finalists at the World Championship in Houston.

Even more impressive, the S.P.A.M. Robotics Class of 2026 became the winningest class in program history with 13 competition wins over four years!!

Students gifted School Board members and Superintendent Maine their very own SPAM cans while sharing how the District’s investment in the team’s state-of-the-art robotics facility has helped elevate their success on the world stage.

Congratulations to S.P.A.M. on another incredible season!
