OAK CREEK, WI — The Oak Creek High School STEM Club is gearing up for another robotics competition and is seeking new members to help out, the club announced.

"Does your high school student spend too much time playing video games?" the club wrote on Facebook, "Are they more creative than they think and ready for a challenge?"

Each year the club participates in a FIRST robotics competition. The club designs a robot to complete assigned tasks and compete with other robots and teams from across the country, the club said. The club encouraged students who like to, or want to learn how to build "cool stuff," to join the club.
