About the club

Academic Decathlon (11-12 grade) and Octathlon (9-10 grade) offer students a class in which they can explore and learn about many exciting new topics while meeting new people. AcDec is an elective course at SHS and provides honors/AP credit toward students' GPA. Moreover, participation in AcDec looks great on college applications and can even provide you with scholarship opportunities. Students of all grades and capabilities are encouraged to join, as long as they are willing to participate and do the work. This year’s topic is "In Sickness and In Health: An Exploration of Illness and Wellness." We will study art and music across centuries that explores illness and wellness and the role of mortality; an introduction to the biology of cancer and the history of healthcare; and a thematic section on health economics. In addition, we will read and study the 1818 version of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, with several other shorter selected works. We will also cover a mathematics section that includes algebra and trigonometry. Students in Decathlon will also participate in Speech and Interview, through which they will be able to write and perform their own speech and gain valuable experience through mock interviews.

Meetings

Academic Decathlon and Octathlon are 2-semester courses during the A3 class period (10:45-1:03)

About the program

Teams build robots to compete against other teams across the state and throughout the world. Here at Sachse we have several world class teams that are designing, building, programming, and driving robots to meet the game requirements and goals of this year's VEX competition, "Tower Takeover". The teams will compete locally during the robotics season, then will move on to compete at the state level.

Each year VEX promotes a competition event that requires brainstorming and engineering skills of each team member so that the robot can be successful. During each two minute match, the robot will operate for 15 seconds during the autonomous mode, then will be driven by one team member for the remaining minute and 45 seconds of the match. Four teams will compete, two of them marked as the "blue" alliance and two marked as the "red" alliance. The goal of the match is to score as many points as possible and more than the opposing alliance.

For more information about the class, please Mr. Scrudder or our Robotics section on academics page of the website. 

Meetings

Informal meetings occur in room 164 on a team by team basis. Each team works on their robot either in the classroom either during class or after school, and it is common for the robots to go to one of the team member's homes when the team wants to meet outside the classroom.
