As the many Jesuit Robotics students furiously used a Computer Aided Design program, otherwise know as CAD, a few stand out.

Ornaments designed and printed, cut, or assembled in the lab create a unique environment in...

Walking down the halls or sitting in class, students might not realize that among them are a grou of World Champions. These people aren't seen out on the football field or in the locker room, discussing plays and training. They instead meet in the machine shop to discuss blueprints and programming solutions. This group is Jesuit's World Champion Robotics Team...
