CLUB SPOTLIGHT: ROBOTICS (ANTARES) 

Antares (FRC Team 6962) is a team of young and aspiring KLS middle- and high-school students. The 2018 season was the team’s rookie year competing in the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC). Hands-on learning and passion-driven work are encouraged at Khan Lab School, and the robotics team is a prime example of students pursuing learning outside of standard academics.

Antares has a mission to inspire and expose others to the exploration of science, mathematics, computer science, and technology. We hope to represent our self-driven school at FRC competitions and share our experiences and knowledge with the rest of our community.

One of the unique differentiators for Antares is its mixed-aged demographic. While most FRC teams are comprised of high school students only, Antares encourages students as young as age 11 to participate. Antares exposes students to not only engineering skills, but critical thinking, problem-solving, financing, teamwork, leadership, marketing, and presentation skills.

CLUB SPOTLIGHT: SPEECH AND DEBATE

The Speech & Debate Team is a great place for members to practice confidence, critical thinking, and effective speaking skills in a positive, constructive, and inclusive environment. The team is comprised of all skill levels and provides student, teacher, and coach based instruction. The club is a ton of fun, with events like school-wide spars with prizes, end of the term parties, and weekend tournaments at a variety of high schools and universities.
