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.

About My Students

Dominic, Hopper, Sebastian, Andy, Matt, and Angel are the drive team for our FIRST® Robotics Team, the Mechanical Mustangs.

The students want to have a mini-fridge for their robotics pit area to keep their drinks organized and cool. They do a ton of walking and need to stay hydrated during the tournament. They also need something that will keep their bottles from being everywhere and the fridge is the perfect thing.

The FIRST® Robotics Competition uses 6-foot 120-pound robots designed and built in six weeks by a team of high school-aged young people and a handful of engineers and mentors. The students remotely control the robots in competition rounds on the field. Kickoff is in early January and this starts the six-week “build” season. Competitions take place in March and April. Referees oversee the competition. Judges evaluate teams and present awards for design, technology, sportsmanship, and commitment to FIRST. Students learn engineering, machining, designing, programming, pneumatics, and fabricating skills. Students work hand-in-hand with adults and learn teamwork, interpersonal skills, presentation skills, budgeting, time management, leadership, and real-life problem solving. It is an impossible task in an impossible amount of time with limited resources and unlimited potential. Students write a business plan, perform community service and STEM outreach, and do much more than build a robot.

In Their Own Words

We need to keep the drive team and pit crew hydrated. We need a mini-fridge that will fit under the table and next to our tool chests. We want to have the best pit area ever. Our neighbors have a couch in their pit so we want to have the fridge.

We are in charge of all of the major decisions on our team, such as to what competitions we apply, where we want to travel, and the strategies our robot will take during the competition. The adults let us make the major design decisions and guide us through the CAD process and fabrication. Andy and Dominic are the captains and delegate responsibilities. We designed this cool pit area and wanted to use Donorschoose.org to help fund the major pieces.

Our FIRST® Robotics Challenge team has allowed over 100 students to enter the field of engineering and science in college. Our alumni have earned over $900K in scholarships and grants to universities around the country. Our 5 seniors were all accepted early decision to engineering or computer programs. We focus on bringing STEM activities to young students and spend a lot of time teaching the younger students about coding and engineering. We also help in lots of community service projects.
