The Scottsbluff Robotics Club received a $12,722 grant from the Oregon Trail Community Foundation on Oct. 31 to help support the technological/equipment needs of the rapidly expanding program. Four years ago, the Scottsbluff Robotics Club had only one team of eight youth. The program has continued to expand each year and now serves five teams of 42 youth across Scotts Bluff County and nine coaches. Maintaining the club’s technology with the program's growth has been a huge struggle. Learn More » https://ow.ly/hArW50U8M3w

Have you ever thought about robotics as a sport? Now it’s proven—robotics is the future of competitive challenges! 🤖 At WBAIS, our Falcons Robotics team fosters creativity, innovation, and collaboration among Middle and High School students from both WBAIS and Hadassim High school in Even Yehuda. Through robotics, students gain hands-on experience in programming, marketing, business, and teamwork while preparing for exciting competitions. This isn’t just about building robots—it’s about building future innovators and leaders. 🎓✨ We’re incredibly proud of the students pushing the boundaries of technology and shaping the future. Do you know someone in the community who’s a part of this? Reach out to learn more about our journey and how we’re transforming how students engage with robotics and real-world challenges. 🦅 Your future starts now. ⏳🚀

Over the past 35 years, FIRST has grown from a groundbreaking idea for inspiring future science and technology leaders into the gold standard for youth robotics. Today, our global robotics community is influencing culture and creating new generations of innovators across industries with the only sport where every participant can go pro. This transformation inspired our arts-themed robotics season, FIRST IN SHOW presented by Qualcomm. During the 2023-2024 season, FIRST students explored the intersection of science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) and gained the community, skills, and self-confidence to build a better future. Our 2024 Annual Impact Report shines a spotlight on FIRST programs’ best-in-show outcomes and the community bringing the FIRST mission to life.

What happens when what you've created isn't moving in the direction you need? Do you give up? Not these teens in Robotics! “Squdl”, our VEX V5 gifted to The Wakaboomee Program by Eaton, to put it kindly, wasn't doing what our team had coded it to do for the last few weeks….. So, back to the drawing board our teens went. Squdl is undergoing a bit of a metamorphosis. 🥴 So Amy P. and Tijuandria Smith, please let all our friends at Eaton know that Squdl might look a bit different than expected the next time you see him! BIG THANK YOU to Ed Tech Unite for supplying us with all the pizza to nourish our minds as we bring Squdl to life. We'll meet again in August. Details coming soon! Do you know any teens into Robotics who’d like to join our team? SPECIAL THANK YOU to our AMAZING instructor, John Patterson who volunteers time away from his incredible research with Dr. He (Helen) Huang to guide teens in The Wakaboomee Program through the power of Robotics. You make our sessions so much FUN! Together, we can sustain our communities with STEAM education like FREE Robotics Sessions! These teens are teaching us that when things aren't moving in the direction we need, don't toss the idea - transform it. Innovation can change the trajectory and ultimately make the vision remarkable. Want to suppprt these sessions so that ALL teens can experience Robotics for FREE? https://lnkd.in/e3T3s8Nj #Robotics #communityIMPACT #EATON #wakaboomee

We had a tremendous turnout for our surgical robotics open house! More than 100 students as well as community members, providers and colleagues were able to get a unique, firsthand experience with our incredible healthcare technology. These robotics are truly making a difference for our patients. Students from Oregon, Fruitland, Caldwell, Vallivue, College of Idaho, CWI and more stopped by to try out the robotics. Here's what one teacher had to say: "It means a lot that West Valley takes the time to support, educate and invest in the next generation of future health professionals."
