Robotics and the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce

Members of the Mechanical Mustangs, Lutheran High’s robotics team, were invited to present at the San Antonio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce’s Core 4 STEM event on Tuesday, November 19. 
CORE4 STEM is a two-day celebration of education and career opportunities in “STEM” – science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The CORE4 Expo brings students, parents, and educators together with high-profile STEM professionals, corporations, government agencies, universities, and colleges (https://www.sahcc.org/11-19-20-core-4-stem).

LHS seniors who have been involved in robotics led demonstrations of our FTC robots, and talked with the students about their experience.   Approximately  150 of the nearly 1,000 students on day one came through our event space and received a robot driver's license after passing a basic robot navigation course. 
​
Long time FIRST Senior Mentor, Mike Henry, who arranged for the booth space for ours and other FIRST robotics teams to demo for the students at the event was impressed with the passion, enthusiasm and care that our students exhibited in providing a meaningful and engaging experience for the 7th and 8th graders who came through the booth in waves of 25 or more every 20 to 30 minutes for from about 9:30 AM to almost 12:45PM.
