By: Izzy Tegeler

On Monday, November 13th, The Riverdale Robotics Team took an opportunity to go to John Deere Seeding and the John Deere Moline Technology Innovation Center to see everyday jobs in the factory as well as learn about what it takes to build and control John Deere vehicles. While at John Deere, they had the chance to talk to people in mechanical engineering, computer science, trades, and more. A member of the Robotics team, Andy Murray, says the field trip was “a wonderful experience with great job opportunities.” Overall, this was an eye-opening experience to see what the team could be doing career-wise in the future.
