The following was submitted by Sue Romero, communications coordinator at Holy Cross Academy:
Members of the Holy Cross Academy in Oneida’s FIRST LEGO League robotics team presented their prize-winning project to Oneida Mayor Max Smith Nov. 26.
When the team heard this year’s competition theme was Nature’s Fury, they immediately thought of the Oneida flood last summer. The team set to work inventing a water filtration system that flood victims could construct themselves easily, quickly, and cheaply.
Mayor Smith said although Oneida was fortunate to receive literally truckloads of bottled water from various donors, he could see the robotics team’s invention benefitting victims of disasters like the recent typhoon in the Philippines where relief was not so readily available.
