PATHS/CBHS Robotics Team Part of First Place Team
at New England Robotics Tournament.
Portland, ME - On March 1st, the Portland Arts and Technology and Casco Bay High School Robotics Team won a first place trophy as part of the First Place Alliance team at the First Tech Challenge in Palmer, Massachusetts. Competing against twenty-one other teams from around New England and eastern Canada, the PATHS/CBHS team was chosen to compete in the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finals based on their excellent defense strategies and the amount of points accumulated by their robotics maneuvers. The team also received an Honorable Mention for their tenancy in overcoming multiple obstacles.
The event was sponsored by usfirst.org, a national, non-profit science organization whose mission is "to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders, by engaging them in exciting mentor-based programs that build science, engineering and technology skills, that inspire innovation, and that foster well-rounded life capabilities."
Led by PATHS Manufacturing Technology teacher Joe Bolduc, with mentoring by CBHS math teacher David Burke, the team consisted of CBHS junior Selby Landmann and CBHS freshman Karamon Davis. Parent David Landmann also provided mentoring and assistance with tournament preparations. The trophy is currently on display in the PATHS Trophy case at 196 Allen Avenue.

(PORTLAND, MAINE) – William Nelligan, a junior at Casco Bay High School in Portland, will travel to the American Legion’s National Oratorical Championship in April to represent Maine in the competition there.

William competed against 10 students from around Maine for the state championship, delivering a speech entitled “Our First Amendment: A Mandate to America.”
The contest, entitled “The High School Oratorical Scholarship Program,” invited high school students from around the state to deliver an eight to ten minute prepared oration and three to five minute extemporaneous oration. At the state gathering on February 16, William placed first among high school students from around the state, winning $1,000 in scholarship money. He will enjoy an expense-paid trip to the national competition in Indianapolis in April.
