Description
The RoboJackets FIRST program is the primary component of our outreach program. This team mentors high school students in the areas of science and technology especially pertaining to robotics. This is done through two major activities.
In the fall semester, we host technology enrichment sessions, which are lecture/lab style activities open to any teams interested in coming. These TE sessions are designed to teach high school students (and sometimes their mentors), the basic engineering knowledge that is necessary for designing, building, and programming robots. The other aspect of the FIRST team is the direct sponsorship and mentoring of Tech High School located in Atlanta, Georgia.
In January of every year, FIRST releases a set of rules for a game that teams up high school teams and their sponsors against each other. We help the students design, build, and program a robot every spring semester to compete in each year's game.
