Girl Scouts Brownie Workshop

10/17/2015

On October 17, 2015, the Seven Lakes High School Robotics Club hosted a Girl Scouts Brownie Workshop to help promote science among girls in the community. Over 80 Girl Scout Brownies from local area elementary schools, along with Brownie troop leaders and parent chaperones, gathered at the Robert R. Shaw Center for STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) where the girls performed hands-on experiments necessary to earn the Home Scientist Badge.

The girls rotated through five different stations with each station featuring a particular science experiment. Seven Lakes High School Robotics students and parent volunteers led the the activities and explained the science behind each activity. By using ordinary household objects, the girls were able to learn about emulsion, static electricity, density, carbon dioxide, and colloids.

The workshop also included a robot demonstration led by the President of the Robotics Club, Alex Millan. The attendees were able to see the robot in action as it maneuvered its way through the 2015 FIRST Robotics Competition Game field, picking up totes and the recycling bin.

At the end of the workshop, the girls received the Home Scientist Badge that they had earned.

The Seven Lakes Robotics Club would like to thank all of the participants, volunteers, and the Shaw Center for making this event possible.

Nothing But Net- VEX Kick-off

10/3/2015

VEX Nothing But Net is a robotic competition in which various high school teams form alliances to compete in matches to have their robotic creations throw balls to score points. Local high schools are gearing up for the first round of the competition which takes place December 5, 2015 in Houston, TX.

On October 3, 2015, Seven Lakes High School RoboSpartans held their kickoff meeting in preparation for the VEX Competition. VEX students formed two teams to think through their robot's

design. Each team collaborated on their robot’s size, shape, and operating functions. Students will continue to meet to refine their design and subsequently build their robots in preparation for the competition. Ultimately RoboSpartans will have to decide on one robot to represent Seven Lakes High School at the December 5th VEX Competition. Good Luck VEX RoboSpartans!

Houston Maker Faire

12/29/2014

Maker Faire is the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth—a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the Maker movement. It’s a place where people show what they are making, and share what they are learning. Makers range from tech enthusiasts to crafters to homesteaders to scientists to garage tinkerers. They are of all ages and backgrounds. The aim of Maker Faire is to entertain, inform, connect and grow this community. The original Maker Faire event was held in San Mateo, CA and in 2013 celebrated its eighth annual show with some 900 makers and 120,000 people in attendance. World Maker Faire New York, the other flagship event, has grown in four years to 6
00+ makers and 75,000 attendees. Detroit, Kansas City, Newcastle (UK), Rome, Oslo and Tokyo are the home of “featured” 2013 Maker Faires (200+ makers), and community-driven, independently organized Mini Maker Faires are now being produced around the United States and the world—including right here in Houston.

15 members from the RoboSpartan team were onsite to demonstrate our robots and meet with other Makers.
