[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Different parent of rising 9th for Blair SMCS - if most of the cohort is interested in STEM topics and ECs how hard is it to say, be on the robotics team?  Or the Math team?  Are there "cuts" for these activities because they have so many kids that want to join?  Especially if my child is not winning national competitions for Math team - will he be able to be participate or is it only for the superstars?  My child would be "average" for the other STEM extracurriculars as well. [/quote]

Anyone can join and participate in robotics. There are tasks for beginners as well as those with plenty of experience and multiple teams to join including business, electronics, mechanics etc.[/quote]

If I recall, there's 2 groups for math team. One travels a fair bit, the other stays mostly at home and does in person training etc. My DD did the less competitive math team - the benefit is learning how to problem solve, not necessarily winning. And she ended up a math/stats major in college/grad school. [/quote]
