Mendota Junior High

During these last few months, Mendota Mesa has participated in several interactive activities. Some of these activities include drafting, mini- competitions, and preliminary competitions.

In the months of August through November we have been practicing how to draft. It has taught us how to be precise and accurate. It has also taught us how to use professional drafting tools.

During the month of December we have been participating in windmill. This mini-competition gives us a small taste of what MESA is about.

We have also talked about various preliminary competitions. Everyone has selected their MESA Day activities.

In conclusion, Mendota MESA has been productive so far. We are planning to increase our participation.

Bullard High School MESA

Since the beginning of the year, our club has grown to about 30 members.  So far, we have participated in our school's club day, where we had a table showcasing the VEX robot. 
We have also attended two Saturday Acadamies at Fresno State.  At the Saturday Academies the VEX robotics team competes in various challenges and other members do fun workshops to get ready for our MESA projects.  During some lunch periods, students come in to work on thier MESA projects or work on the Robot. While we are thier we talk about how to improve and perfect our MESA Projects.
