All three of our teams won medals for competing in the novice division of the tournament. The team comprised of Amanda Nieves and Suzy Gonzalez brought home the gold medals. The team of Jacob Tipton and Will Roberts earned the silver medals. And finally, the team of Mia Leonard and Julia Messer captured the bronze medals. I am so proud of their accomplishments and their hard work. All of us are looking forward to watching them continue to grow as debaters and become more and more successful throughout the rest of their academic careers… Mr. Shea

The Dove Science Academy Robotics Team did great during the First Tech Challenge (FTC) Qualifying Tournament held at the Ben Franklin Science Academy in Muskogee. Robotics team got 1st Place in the PTC Design Award category.

The Dove Science Academy Robotics Team advanced to attend FTC Oklahoma Statewide Robotics Competition on March, 3rd 2012.

Congratulations to Dove Robotics Team, represented by Ahkiah, Kyle, Leron and Tomas.

The PTC Design Award recognizes design elements of the robot that are both functional and aesthetic. All successful robots have innovative design aspects. The PTC Design Award, however, is presented to teams that incorporate industrial design elements into their solution. These elements could simplify the robot giving it a clean look, decorate the robot, or otherwise express the creativity of the team. The winning design does not compromise the practical operation of the robots but compliment its purpose.
