LHS Computer Science Robotics FAST-START

My students need to have these phones to develop their robots for community outreach and competition. These phones allow the students to communicate from their programs to their robots during execution of commands.

My Students

Our Computer Science curriculum is extending its scope to reach more students by implementing a FIRST Robotics club. This club will allow students to apply the knowledge they are learning in class to real-world applications by designing robots not only for competition but for community outreach to continue to build the Lindbergh CS curriculum district wide and expose more students to the Computer Science field.

We are one of 47 schools in the state of Missouri that offer Computer Science classes to students to participate in and pursue post-secondary education and careers in many areas of the Computer Science field.

My Project

Students at LHS are staring a FIRST Robotics competition team that will focus on competing in future robotics competitions while also working with some community outreach within the district to introduce more students to the field of Computer Science and what options they have as they move through school in the Lindbergh School District.

The phones purchased for this project are used for communication between the programs the students develop and the actual robot.

This allows the students to control their robot from a computer and have it manipulate an obstacle or demonstrate a task they developed. This type of phone allows the student to freely update the communication code between the operator and robot. One phone is connected to the robot and the other phone is used by the operator. Four phones are needed (2 for each robot described below).

There will be 2 robots used to start this club up in its first year. Robot 1 will be used for the future competition, while Robot 2 will be used to help promote Computer Science careers and the Robotics club through the district.

The goal will be to continue to build this club in the coming years and integrate it fully into the HS Computer Science curriculum.
