Providing middle school students with robotics resources through interactive workshops
As students, we’ve spent countless hours learning about math and science in the classroom, but we never really had a chance to apply it anywhere. For those fortunate enough to participate in such programs, the more we grew up, the more that it seemed like distant memories. What about the kids who didn’t have access to these programs? What about those who couldn’t afford to pay for the resources? That’s why we created Seize The Bot.
Seize The Bot’s mission is to empower students to spark an interest in robotics by collecting old robotics resources from FIRST Lego League alums and donating them to schools that could benefit from it.
To ensure this interest will be nurtured, we strive to ensure there are sustainable programs at middle schools that teach students about FIRST Lego League robotics, which serves as a hub for the STEM community.
Reach out to middle schools who lack a robotics program.
Meet with principal/head faculty to explain different FIRST LEGO League (FLL) kits.
Designate a set date/time with school to come and present FLL robotics.
After gathering enough interest, we designate faculty to teach this program and provide them with the proper instruction resources. Each meet, we have two members from Seize The Bot come and help out.
