Our students are in grades 9-12 at a public school. They have a wide range of skills, but they learn to work together as a team with other students in addition to adult mentors. Students are being inspired to become science and technology leaders. For six weeks, starting in January, they work for several hours each day after school and one day on the weekends to design, build, and test a robot that will be used in a unique competition each season. Students work with adult mentors to build the robot according to strict requirements. They design complex software to run the robot. This software can include interfaces with a camera, sonar, and IR devices. Software development occurs at the same time as the robot is being mechanically built. Students only have six weeks to build the robot, but software can continue to be developed throughout the competition season, which lasts an additional six weeks. Having a dedicated laptop to develop software will help the students.
