READ OUR PORTFOLIO FOR THIS YEAR! It contains all that we have done over the year and is a good summary of our year. It’s available here. This year, our challenge for my robotics class in school, was a game called Freight Frenzy, sponsored by Amazon (because of course it was). The game was a lot more organization, delivery, and automation-centered. The game centered around taking cargo to certain places, in the fastest, most efficient way possible.

Last year, I had my first FTC competition. If you don’t know what FTC is, FTC is a robotics program for middle and high schools. My school offers a robotics elective from grades 7 - 12th, so I thought “Oh that’ll be cool instead of keyboarding class, and I’ve done First Lego League I’ll do it.” That probably changed my life, but that’s a story for another day. The challenge That years challenge was Ultimate Goal, in which the goal, (no pun intended,) was to shoot rings into a tower.

2 months ago, I was approached by my local 4H programs agent, and she asked me if, I would like to help teach their robotics program. Being me, I said yes. If you don’t know, 4H is a program supported by the USDA, mostly known for its stock shows. 4H also has programs for other activities. Some examples are cooking, photography, shooting sports, and sewing to name a few. But when you think of 4H normally you think of the stock show programs, which is fair.
