Celebrating 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.

My Project

Our team, the Silver King Cyborgs, is gearing up for the 2023-2024 FIRST Tech Challenge - CenterStage! Our primary goal is to build a practice field with these foam tiles, PVC, cable ties, and other building materials that mirrors the competition environment. This will enable our students to test and fine-tune their robots, enhancing their learning experience and boosting their chances of success.

A practice field is essential for providing realistic, hands-on experience.

It allows students to:

*Test robot designs in an environment similar to the actual competition.

*Develop and refine their programming skills.

*Strategize and practice maneuvering through real-world scenarios

By providing these resources, our students will gain invaluable experience in robotics, engineering, teamwork, and problem-solving. This hands-on approach not only prepares them for the competition but also instills essential life skills and a passion for STEM education. Your support will directly contribute to shaping future engineers, programmers, and scientists. Every contribution brings us closer to providing an unparalleled educational experience for our students.

Join us in propelling the Silver King Cyborgs to CenterStage! Your support will not just build a practice field, it will build the future of these aspiring young minds.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
