CIJE VEX Robotics tournament at HAFTR

HAFTR hosted CIJE’s VEX Robotics Tournament, a two-day celebration of STEM learning, teamwork and innovation that brought together students and several schools. The expanded two-day format elevated the experience and allowed for more showcasing of student skill and ability.

HAFTR High School teams earned an outstanding first and second place finish; Middle School teams impressed with both first and second place wins, and the Lower School team continued took first place for the fourth year in a row. These achievements reflect not only technical skill, but perseverance, collaboration and a love of learning.

HAFTR’s Robotics Program is one of the school’s proudest achievements — a thoughtfully designed pathway that begins with curiosity in the Lower School, deepens through exploration in Middle School, and culminates in championship-level design and engineering in High School. At every stage, students are encouraged to ask questions, take risks and grow together as thinkers and problem-solvers.

HAFTR is appreciative to CIJE for its continued partnership, and thanks Phillip Brazil and Adam Jerozolim for their vision in creating such an inspiring platform for students to shine. Their commitment to excellence in STEM education was felt throughout the tournament and made this expanded two-day event truly memorable.

At HAFTR, robotics is about curiosity, collaboration, growth and watching students engineer their futures together.
