On February 6, 2022, Friendship Robotknights Braylon Wims, Jakari Powell, Ahmad Nash, Alexander Santos, Kaniya Johnson, and Maya Jackson attended their second robotics competition of the season, Tipping Point. This competition was an amazing experience for us with lots of big robots in the alliance battles and singular skills challenges.

At Friendship Technology Preparatory Academy we have three academies that high school students can attend throughout their four years of school. Of course when you are a ninth grader you are in the Freshmen Academy and once you are a tenth grader until your senior year you can either be a part of the Academy of Engineering or the Academy of Urban Ecology.

I like math because it's fun. Math is fun to me because I like my math teacher and he’s very good at helping me do my work.

On September 8, 2018, scholars from Tech Prep had the chance to join other students from around DC at Mapbox to experience our first hackathon which was called #UnHacktheVote2018. The purpose of the hackathon was to use technology to solve real-world problems.

This year Woodridge Elementary has a LEGO Junior League. This afterschool club is sponsored by our 3rd grade math teacher Ms.Taylor Dow. During the program, students are taught tons of math and science concepts through real-world application. We are able to design, build, and create using LEGO’s products.

Today at Woodridge, students acted as if they were electrical engineers by making a representation of a circuit. There was so much buzz going on in Ms. Lewis’ 4th grade science classroom. The electrical circuit was the topic of the lesson and students reviewed the concepts of a closed circuit, an open circuit, and a short circuit.

From November 10th through November 12th, 2017, Collegiate and Tech Prep NSBE Jr. members went to the Greensboro, North Carolina convention. It was an amazing experience. We stayed at a beautiful hotel for three days with great food! Who wouldn’t be happy because of that?

Did you know most kids are nervous and a bit scared of the first day of school? Well, this year was different. Why?  The eclipse was a big deal this year and all the excitement took place on the first day of school.

When you hear the word, “space”, what do you think? Space, it’s a beautiful place. We as humans have been studying space since man could remember. Fifty million years from now the earth will be too hot for life as we know it to survive.

The D.C. District Wide STEM Fair was held at Dunbar High School, and two of our very own Titans, including myself, got the honor of representing Friendship Tech Prep with our innovative projects.
