WCDSB Supporting Robotics: Beaverworx Team 2609's Growth & New Robotics Course

We’re proud to celebrate the Wellington Catholic District School Board’s (WCDSB) outstanding work in growing robotics opportunities for youth in Guelph. As highlighted in a recent Wellington Advertiser article by Robin George, WCDSB’s support has helped Team 2609 Beaverworx, reach its largest membership ever and the school board has launched Ontario’s first after-school, credit-based robotics and automation course.

This progress is made possible by dedicated mentors like Reli de Sosa (an engineering project manager) and Laszlo Szugyi (a teacher in the WCDSB), both Beaverworx alumni who now give back as industry professionals and educators. Their leadership is inspiring students to build technical skills, confidence, and a passion for STEM.
