Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

About My Students

Our schools Robotics Team 968 goal for this year is to outreach their passion for STEM to the school's parents and students and to fundraise for the FRC First Competition. "...one of the ways that I believe people express their appreciation to the rest of humanity is to make something wonderful and put it out ." -Steve Jobs

Our Robotics Team 968 has won 8 regional, 1 championship, and countless of awards.

They strive to provide high school students with opportunities to experience real-world engineering through robotics. Every year, they are given 6 weeks to build a robot to fulfill a task at the competition. The varsity sport for the mind, my FRC Robotics team compete in the excitement of sport, with the rigors of science and technology. Under strict rules, limited resources and time limits, teams of 25 students or more are challenged to raise funds, design a team "brand," hone teamwork skills as they build and program robots to perform prescribed tasks against a field of competitors. It’s as close to "real-world engineering" as a student can get. Volunteer professional mentors lend their time and talents to guide each team.

Exposing students to any type of technology will help them grow there graphic technology skill set. As students enter college and internships their skills are beginning to be much more diverse. Along with increasing their ability to think creatively and develop interesting content, students will also develop collaborative skills as well working in groups to develop engaging projects.

In Their Own Words

With a new GoPro camera, we will be having more resources to showcase and instruct more of our fellow students. With the new Project Lead the Way (PLTW) program, we have many new people interested in joining our team. By having more resources, we will be able to provide them all with an in-depth learning experience.

We will work as a team, meeting challenges creatively and collaboratively, all while using STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) related skills.

Perhaps more importantly than the hands-on experience, will be the non-technology skills we will develop--the leadership, problem solving, and everyday life skills that will prepare us for our futures.

At the end of the day, it will be more than building robots, and more than building our skills, it will be about sharing our story. Sharing what we are capable of doing, and allowing us to inspire others in our community that by working together, we solve problems and build great things!

We would have applied engineering, science, math, and technology to solve complex, open-ended problems in a real-world context. All while developing highly transferable skills in collaboration, communication, and critical thinking, which are relevant for STEM careers. Please help provide resources that can help us become the next generation of STEM professionals. We would be actively promoting STEM within our community starting in our own high school now with the ability to document our activities and progress.
