ALACHUA ‒ The City of Alachua’s Recreation and Culture Department is welcoming in the Spring Season. Currently underway are the Santa Fe Soccer Alliance registration open until Feb. 24 (sfsocceralliance.com) and 399 Sports Volleyball registration open until March 3 (399sportsrecreation@gmail.com).
This past Saturday, Legacy Park Multipurpose Center hosted a roaring event as the Swamp Bot Robotics regional competition kicked off. The robotics competition is a Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) program. STEM programs are designed to strengthen science, technology, engineering and mathematical skills in local youth and is a nationwide program.
The competition included a day filled with games, fun snacks, and entertainment. The highlight of the event was the closing pyrotechnic walk out ceremony to celebrate all of the participants. Congratulations are due to all the competing teams and thank yous as well to the volunteers who made the event so much more exciting.
