Girl Powered
Girl Powered
Two years ago, we hosted a Girl Powered event at our school to reach out to the girls in our community. We spent the day teaching them about robotics and how girls can participate in it, as well as making crafts and having fun with them. The members of the middle school team The Beauties and The Beast showcased their robots and talked about their experience as an all girl's team. Many of the girls left the school interested and excited about robotics in their own schools.

App Creation
App Creation
In 2018-2019, four members of the High School Robotics program spent about a month coding an app from scratch. It was made to be a first aid app that would analyze symptoms and give a possible treatment or prognosis based on that information.
In 2020, two other members of the High School Robotics program spent about three months coding another app. This app took more time to build because the coding of the app was much more in-depth. The app was built to help our competitors prepare for the upcoming game by allowing them to play a mobile game version of the game.
Junior Beta
Junior Beta
Last year for the District Junior Beta convention, four members of the Middle School Robotics program entered into the robotics section and were given a prompt pertaining to exploration and research. They built a robot fitted with color sensors and LEDs. In the convention, the robot drove over red paper cans, green paper plants, and blue paper fish taped to the field. The robot was programmed to recognize the color of the pieces of paper and display the color using the LEDs. The purpose of this was to mimic a robot exploring the ocean floor, identifying natural wildlife and harmful trash it comes across and sending that data to researchers.

Community Service
Community Service
As school started in September of 2020, all of our middle school program and a few members from our high school program worked together to help homeless and those left without food/shelter after hurricane Laura. We collected canned food to send to shelters across several different states.
