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.

My Students

The students at our high school are special because of their diversity. This diversity is both ethnic and economic. We have students from Brazil, Korea, Jordan and about 20 other countries. Some students could be described as economically advantaged while others might be considered part of an under-served population.

They come from neighborhoods that reflect their socio-economic condition.

Our community includes wealthy neighborhoods. There is also low-income housing in several parts of our community, including directly adjacent to our school.

Our school is special because it provides an opportunity for a diverse group of students to come together and gain an appreciation for each other. Much of this coming together occurs in the many different clubs on campus (Ex: Anime Club, Earth Club, Robotics Club, etc.). The various extra-curricular activities at our school provide students with an exceptional opportunity to develop empathy and understanding for people who are different from themselves.

My Project

We are trying to create a robot that we can use to compete in the First Tech Challenge (FTC) robotics competition. Participants in the competition must register with FTC in order to participate in Qualifying matches. We hope to participate in a regional Qualifying Match held in February 2019 in Daly City, CA.

We also need to make upgrades to our current robot to make it more competitive and increase our chance of success in the competition.

We need compliant wheels to increase our mobility during the competition. These wheels can also be used to create an intake mechanism to harvest "minerals" during the competition. The class 40 gearmotor will provide versatility and mobility for our robot. The rev Expansion module will allow us to manage multiple robotics motors simultaneously. The FTC cable conversion kit is needed to upgrade the electronics of our current robot.
