HOGG ROBOTICS UNLEASHED AT IMPACT II

 HISD's Impact II Inventors and Robotics Competition was held at the Hattie Mae White 
 Educational Support Center last January 31, 2008. Hogg Middle School's Robotics was present
 and accounted for in a big way. Our students came ready to compete and they emerged 
 victorious!

  None of this would be possible without the hard work and dedication of Hogg's Robotics teacher,
  Mr. Juan Salinas. He has had the invaluable assistance of Hogg's teachers Ms. Michele Williams
 and Ms. Ashley Farrell in preparing the students for this competition. And let's not forget our P4L
 Coordinator, Mrs. Letti Partida, who has always been 100% there for Hogg Robotics!
