Empowered Me- VI

In the Spring of 2024, our Robotics 101 class taught students collaboration, how to foster creativity, and helped participants develop critical thinking skills. Introduction to robotics covered everything that students needed to know about how a robot works and provided an opportunity for participants to build a robot.

In the Summer of 2024, we went on to form a Robotics Club with students from Robotics 101. These students represented the US Virgin Islands in the FIRST Global Challenge in Athens, Greece this September! The FIRST Global Challenge is an annual, Olympics-style international robotics event to which one team of high school students from every nation is invited to participate.
