Providence Journal
February 5, 2017
The robots were oblivious.
Unaware of the bass-heavy music blaring from loudspeakers, the exuberant crowds cheering wildly and the frenzied teams competing madly while wearing odd uniforms, the robots simply followed commands.

"It's fun to design it from scratch, especially now that we can see the results of all of our hard work," said Jasmine Gabor, a senior.
Gabor said she heard boys on some teams making "derogatory" remarks about the ability of a girl "to drive the robot." A moment later, Evans, from the Shea team, went up to her to talk strategy on the next round, since their teams were going to be paired against two others.

"MAKING THE CHOICE TO DROP AP COURSES AT LINCOLN SCHOOL"

Advanced placement – or AP – courses are offered in many high schools as a way for students to take college-level classes and impress college admissions officers. Over the past decade, the number of students taking these challenging courses has nearly doubled. But one private high school in Rhode Island is saying no more to the AP. Lincoln School in Providence plans to stop offering AP courses in the fall of 2017. Lincoln Head of School Suzanne Fogarty discussed the decision with Rhode Island Public Radio’s Elisabeth Harrison
