Funded Nov 7, 2017We greatly appreciate the additional robotic equipment that was donated to our classroom and school. By studying and researching the various applications of automation and robotic functionality; we found that robots can be a vital part of a communities safety. Here are a few examples; search and rescue of hazardous areas, where it's unsafe for humans to pursue or enter. We discussed this topic with our local firefighters and sheriffs department. Together we were able to create scenarios and re-enactment situations where robotics would be beneficial. Some of the training involved retrieval of objects, where toxic gases or dangerous fumes may be present. We used robot cameras to locate items and people that needed assistance. We practiced using a robot to put out a simulated fire. The real world applications have given the students a look into future STEM careers and technology fields of study. Again thank you for your donations and willingness to give to others.”
With gratitude,
