Robots don't stop over the summer! The team had the opportunity to help teach middle school aged students at the Boys and Girls Club all about teamwork, leadership and FLL robotics during a week-long summer camp.
Collaborating with Georgia FIRST and the Arthur M. Blank Foundation, FIRST Robotics students from local FRC and FTC teams acted as teachers and were able to assist Campers in building a robot using Mindstorm NXT kits. The campers were able to build and program their robots to complete challenges using motors, sensors and new found programming skills.
Some of the girls (the "Pink Ladies") had received training previously regarding leadership skills, and these Robotics Queens will be forming their own FLL team this school year.
On the last day, parents and special guests came and saw the accomplishments that their camper had made, and awards were presented for highest points, Safety, Gracious Professionalism, Coopertition and more.
The Campers had a really fun and educational week that was the highlight of the summer for many of them. We enjoyed helping out and inspiring young minds as to the possibilities that their futures could hold.
