My Students

The Robotics team's enthusiasm to learn about all aspects of robotics is infectious. From our first meeting, students have been driven and motivated to consider engineering and troubleshooting strategies to solve problems as they come up. Though we are a new team, they are putting their all into every challenge or decision.

The team is also a creative powerhouse.

As we are beginning our robot building and coding processes, the students are looking for simple elegant solutions through a variety of means.

My Project

During the 2021-22 VEX Robotics season, students will have the opportunity to discover engineering through motors, gears, sensors, and pulleys. They will be faced with modern-day STEM problems to design, build, and test solutions. Working together as a team, they will apply the design method to accomplish their goal for a solution and then present it to an audience. They will use the Engineering Design Process to develop, test, and perfect their robot designs and competition skills.

Applying critical thinking using STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), students will be engaged in solving and producing a prototype as a solution.

These VEX Robotics kits contain are all the components, motors, wires, and parts needed for the students to compete in VEX Robotics competitions.

With your donation, you are helping students to achieve abilities that extend far beyond the classroom. Without STEM projects such as these, students would not be given the opportunity to explore robotics. These students are our future engineers. Your donation will help foster and continue their excitement in robotics.
