My Students

All students need to be prepared to work and function in a technological society. Our students advance their educations by working with cool technology. However, if you visit us, you will find that it's not just about robots. It's about developing mature, capable and college ready young people.

The 70 students on our robotics team are an excellent cross-section of our school.

Our high school is a suburban, Michigan school of about 1800 students. In the robotics program, we effectively serve many types of students, from high achieving honors students to high achieving special education students. Many of these students have left us to attend prestigious colleges and have gone on to interesting and rewarding STEM careers. Over the past two years, we have graduated 28 seniors from the program. This group accumulated combined offers of $900,000 in scholarships. In their time with us, our students develop skills that few high school students achieve before college.

My Project

The RoboDawgs are into technology! We build robots, but we also explore other cutting edge technologies such as 3-D printing, quadcopter drones, underwater drones, and autonomous boats. We have also launched over 20 high altitude weather balloons carrying payloads such as cameras and sensors to measure altitude, pressure, temperature and radiation. We have discovered a way to use a tiny computer called a Raspberry Pi to collect and store the data from these sensors. To store the data, high capacity memory cards are required. Your gift will make it possible for us to obtain these memory cards and continue our high altitude flights.

It may seem strange that a robotics team would conduct near-space flights, however, these flights further our goals to inspire students to do new and exciting things with the technology available to them.

In the process they will learn much about physics, and Earth Science, not from books, but as a natural consequence of conducting their projects. Your gift will make it possible for them to continue collecting data and to continue exploring this amazing frontier.
