Computers For Robotics

Help me give my students laptops to use to run Robotics competitions and program their creation.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Smith's classroom raised $999

This project is fully funded

My Project

Every year hundreds of Central Valley students take part in competitive robotics. In Kern County, my school has taken the lead in hosting these events. We need some new equipment and tools to help us take this show on the road around the region.

Computers are necessary for both preparing for competitions as well as running them.

The major needs that this project will meet are two computers to allow the competitions to occur. These computers interface with our video equipment as well as the competition fields themselves. Between competitions, students can use the computers to design and program their robots.
