Edgewood?Students Lead Event At Washington

By Staff Report-

Abbi Richcreek’s Edgewood Middle School students Hunter Fitterling, Mason Fitterling, Jack Langhorn and Maya Bodiker lead a special event for kindergartners and first-graders at Washington STEM Academy.

Over the years, Richcreek’s focus on innovative projects led her to write numerous grants, according to a news release from Warsaw Community Schools. In summer 2017, she was awarded a Nao humanoid robot, which was named Rowdy. Rowdy is the first robot to successfully ride a horse programmed by middle school students at a professional performance event. Rowdy and Richcreek’s students have made numerous appearances at nursing homes, community ag events and elementary schools in previous years.

This year, Hunter, Mason, Langhorn and Bodiker surprised kindergartners with an introduction to Rowdy who demonstrated his abilities through yoga, walking, playing a game and reciting Clement Clarke Moore’s poem “'Twas the Night Before Christmas” published in 1823. The children were mesmerized, the release states.
