My Students

The students in my robotics club are so excited and motivated to help our FIRST Robotics Competition team succeed! Some of them have been participating since they were seniors, while many of the others are new (especially because we weren't able to participate last year due to being remote for the pandemic), but they all have so much to offer to each other and to our team. Reflecting the diversity of the school, our team consists of students from many different backgrounds who bring their varied knowledge and experiences to the workbench.

Seeing my students, even the ones that are sometimes disengaged in a traditional classroom setting, show so much enthusiasm and interest in learning about a variety of complex subjects is all the proof I need that participating in robotics is making a huge positive impact on their educational experience.

There's something about competition and about seeing the concrete, impressive results of your work that encourages everyone to push themselves beyond what they might normally think were the limits of their ability.

My Project

Our FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) team is in its fourth full year (as the season was cut short in 2020), and we're trying to both rebuild after losing two years of competition, while also upgrading to tools and storage methods that will work better in the long run than the more temporary and cheaper solutions we've used in the past.

Two of our most time-consuming issues have been the organization of our tools and supplies and the cutting of custom parts from raw materials.

With these new tools, we can spend less time on trying to find things, or on finding ways around needing to cut metal, and more time on building, testing, and programming our FIRST Robotics Competition robot for the Rapid React season.
