N.G. 'Neering
Projects
Inspired by the principles of FIRST robotics, we not only want to learn more about science and technology, but we want to share our passion and inspire others. These projects are our pursuits, and they'll have pages developed as we go:
- Technology Students Association (TSA)
- Girls, Gears and Grub - Engineering Lunch-and-Learn" for girls at NGHS
- Mentoring FIRST Lego League (FLL) teams at our local elementary and middle schools
- FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC)
- FIRST Robotics Challenge (FRC)
- Lemelson-MIT InvenTeams
- The Solutions Factory
- Self-study lessons
- Group-study lessons
Also, we hope to communicate with each other and the outside world regarding our efforts, so more people can learn:
A public Wiki to share our successes and lessons learned. Our initial focus is small: local teams, close to our school. Then, our district of 160,000 students and well over 100 schools. Then, the world, then onto some other planet colony, potentially some psychic transference to other dimensions, the usual way things spread.
A semi-public Forum to use during events and planning. We use this for planning our events like FIRST robotics in general ways, as well as very specific discussions on 'bots. You might see anything from a discussion on motor types to arranging a good time for a water balloon fight.
