My Project

Robotics is an exciting and fast-paced sport where students test their engineering and problem-solving skills. With high-speed robots, power tools, and quick repairs necessary in competitions, safety is a critical aspect of the experience. My students recognize this challenge and want to take proactive steps to ensure all participants can access essential first-aid supplies.

As part of our robotics team's commitment to safety, my students would like to assemble and distribute safety kits at competitions.

These kits can promptly address minor injuries so participants can focus on the competition. This initiative will benefit our team and the broader robotics community. Their goal is to spread awareness about the importance of safety while providing practical solutions to help teams handle unexpected situations.
