Hall-Dale High School’s REM Delta Prime Robotics Team 4473 invites the public to its first open house from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, April 2, at their build space in the Ballard Center, 6 Chestnut St., Augusta. Enter through the Arsenal Street basement entrance.

The team will offer tours of the build site, demonstrate the robots and explain STEM and FIRST Robotics to guests, according to a news release from the team.

The team is a member of FIRST Robotics Competition, an international high school robotics competition that gives students real-world engineering experience. The competition combines the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology, according to the release. Under strict rules, limited resources, and time limits, teams of students are challenged to raise funds, design a team brand, hone teamwork skills, and build and program robots to perform prescribed tasks against a field of competitors. Volunteer professional mentors lend their time and talents to guide each team. The team had six weeks to build a robot for this year’s challenge, FIRST Stronghold.
