Eager to introduce robotics to younger students, we decided to pursue creating a robotics team at Lakewood Middle School. After contacting Pre-Engineering and Robotics teacher Mr. Carlson, the Kois were able to set up meetings for a new “Robotics Club” every other Wednesday. Our team introduced curious middle schoolers to the world of STEM, from Python programming to data structures and organization. We learned the value of encouraging students to explore robotics because this field will have a resounding impact on their everyday lives as adults.
