Our school, Salem Jr, has many extra-curricular activities that it supports: track, musicals, 4-H. One of these activities that has largely gone unnoticed, is the Underwater Robotics 4-H club. Underwater Robotics is an engineering class that teaches participants about engineering and unmanned robots. Students learn how to create a remotely-controlled robot that functions underwater, and go on to actually make one. This class is taught by Mr. Boyer and Mrs. Roberts, along with volunteer assistants from BYU.

UNDERTALE is a RPG-type pixel adventure game. Created by Toby Fox, the game was inspired from the Mother series, a similar RPG. The game’s story is huge and emotional, when I played it, my eyes watered up. The beginning storyline is the two races, Humans and Monsters, lived in peace, until a war broke out. The Humans won, and sealed the Monsters behind a doorway called “The Barrier”. Years later, a young child climbed the mountain the monsters were under, and fell through a hole into the Underground. That’s where the story starts.
