Listen "Robotics"
Episode Synopsis
The Hopkins High School robotics team, The Technocrats, is fueled by far more than competition. It’s a safe place where students can be themselves and grow as engineers, strategists, communicators, and leaders. In this episode, the team shares what it takes to go from a challenge announcement to getting a working robot on the field, how new students find their place on the team, and why robotics is one of the most exciting ways our students prepare for a future in STEM and beyond.Guests:• Jason Herzog — Mentor and machine design engineer at General Mills• Amelia Carriveau — HHS senior, team captain• Kaitlyn Ditzler — HHS junior, team captainResources:www.hopkinsrobotics.orgUpcoming Events:MinneTrials, Tanglen Elementary School, Dec 6-7, 2025, www.minnetrials.orgMiddle School Competition, Eisenhower Elementary School, Jan 10-11, 2026Technocrats Open House, March 14, 2026 at Hopkins High School
