Fargo high school students heading to Detroit for robot contest INFORUM

They were given six weeks to accomplish the task, and that is what they did. A couple of weeks ago, members of the Red River Rage, which is what the students from Fargo North, Fargo South and Davies High School call themselves, were among the winners of a regional tournament held in Grand Forks. Now, they are heading to the 2019 FIRST Robotics Championship tournament in Detroit, which will be held April 24-27. FIRST Robotics is an international high school robotics competition that gives students real-world engineering experience. There are about 4,800 teams around the world and about 600 will compete in Detroit, according to Ellen Shafer, one of several mentors of the local high school team, which includes her son, Ethan Shafer, a junior at North High.
