Wellesley High School’s Robotics Competition Team Ultraviolet had a standout 2026 season, earning the Imagery Award at the Western New England District event and going on to win the New England District event at Worcester Polytech Institute, securing the team’s first 1st Place Blue Banner!

In Worcester, Team Ultraviolet partnered with teams from Holliston, Bolton, and New Hampshire to claim the event victory. Team Ultraviolet also received the prestigious Engineering Inspiration Award, recognizing their impact in promoting STEM within our community.

These achievements qualified Team Ultraviolet for the New England District Championship last weekend. Senior captains Stephanie Xia and Mihir Shyam said, “We are so proud of all the work that everyone on this team has put in to make this year absolutely incredible! We look forward to celebrating our season with the greater Wellesley community as part of the annual Veterans Parade and with our upcoming Summer Workshops for 3rd-6th graders!”
