We even had a special guest visitor! The wonderful Rob Mounier ( ), the incredibly talented painter known for spreading positive messages and vibrant murals throughout our city, stopped by our table. He took a break from his own booth to try his hand at printmaking with us for a few minutes. Rob, it was a joy to share the fun with you. We appreciate you and love supporting the amazing work you do for Newburgh!

What a beautiful Saturday morning! We were thrilled to be back at South Middle School for the annual Books & Breakfast event. It’s hard to believe this was our fourth year participating, and it gets better every single time!

We had such an amazing time working with students and faculty, getting our hands ink-stained and creative with printmaking! Meeting the community, seeing those smiles, and sharing the joy of making art and being creative, together!

Thank you, South Middle School, for having us back!

This is totally corny but ran the numbers.

Robots: built.
Code: tested.
SkinnyPop bags: gone.

Between debugging, building, and cheering each other on, our FTC pit may have quietly become a SkinnyPop fan zone.

Hey — if you’re ever looking to sponsor a robotics team powered by curiosity, teamwork, and excellent snacking decisions, we’re ready.

Team Code Crushers | FTC #31790
Crunch time, literally.

Just a team and their bot! We’re getting ready for our first practice match of the day!

Qualifier morning with Code Crushers (Team 31790).

The work’s been done. Now we run what we practiced, adapt when things change, and support each other all the way through.

Proud of this team. Time to crush it!



Huge thanks to our team sponsors for getting us to this point including the Community Foundation of Orange & Sullivan, the Gene Haas Foundation and Pitsco Education

More than robots. FIRST LEGO League is research, empathy, and how we work together. This week our crew dove into the Innovation Project, exploring this season’s archaeology theme by asking probing questions, mapping stakeholders, checking reliable sources, and sketching ideas to help communities discover and share the past. Then our lead coach ran a role‑playing team game that turned communication, trust, and quick decision‑making into an adventure. Plenty of “fail, fix, try again” and Core Values all the way.

We’re building on FLL’s shared guides, rubrics, and resources and we love learning from our community. Have a museum contact, archaeologist, or resource we should explore? Drop it below!
