Thanks to your help we are reaching our goal! Our 2 volunteer tutors and 7 participating youth are completing Aprende (learn), the first phase of the Balam 2020 robotics challenge. Having mastered the required principles of electronics, circuit design and programming, they are beginning to hand in videos of their work on the Arduino online simulator.
Inspired by the needs derived from the Covid-19 emergency, Kary decided to program a EKG heart monitor, while Jonatahn worked on a temperature monitor. Now their peers will have to catch up!
In the meantime we are all getting ready to move into Crea (create), phase 2 of the challenge. We'll be procuring robot kits, making plans for travel to the city (keeping our fingers crossed for when lockdown ends!) and, most importantly, the youth will be building and testing their robots and programs.
Join us in wishing them luck in their endeavor.

Gracias a tu ayuda estamos llegando a nuestra meta. Nuestros 2 tutores voluntarios y 7 jóvenes participantes están completando Aprende, la primera fase del reto de robótica Balam 2020. Habiendo dominado los principios requeridos de electrónica, diseño de ciruitos y programación, han comenzado a enviar los vídeos demostrativos de su trabajo en el simulador en línea de Arduino.
Inspirados por las necesidades que surgen de la emergencia del Covid-19, Kary decidió programar un monitor de electrocardiograma, mientras Jonatahn trabajó en un monitor de temperatura. ¡Ahora sus pares deben alcanzarlos!
Mientras tanto todos nos preparamos para pasar a Crea, la fase 2 del reto. Estaremos comprando los kits de robótica y haremos planes de viaje para la ciudad (con los dedos cruzados para cuando termine la cuarentena) y, lo más importante, los jóvenes estarán construyendo y ensayando sus robots y programas.
Acompáñennos en desearles éxito en su emprendimiento.
