Berlin’s FIRST robotics team – the TechnoNuts – will host a bottle and can collection fundraiser at Berlin High School on Saturday, April 29. Team members will be at the Gibney Gymnasium entrance from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Berlin’s FIRST robotics faction is comprised of students from the high school and middle school. Officially formed in 1994, the TechnoNuts are considered to be the oldest FIRST robotics team in Connecticut. “We’re celebrating 30 years of nuttiness this season," Helen A. deRito, an adult mentor, quipped. Daniel Barnat and Jamison Evans were awarded the rank of Eagle Scout in a March 4 ceremony held at Kensington Congregational Church. Pinning the Eagle medals on Barnat and Evans was Boy Scouts of America Kensington Troop 24 Committee Chairman David Schulz and Assistant Scoutmaster Dr. David Roccapriore. Also in attendance at the ceremony was Berlin Mayor Mark Kaczynski and state Rep. Donna Veach (30th District), who presented Barnat and Evans with proclamations recognizing their accomplishment. Eagle Scout is the highest achievement in Boy Scouts. Pictured, from left: Mark Kaczynski, Donna Veach, Daniel Barnat and Jamison Evans.
