Blaze Robotics, FIRST© Team 3184. We are not just a team, we are a family. Inside each of our team members is a roasting fire of emotion in their hearts. Though we are small in number, we are great in our motivation to change our community. We are dedicated on sharing FIRST principles in our community and in our school to make a positive difference in the world of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). We strive to inspire our students towards leadership, innovation, and self-improvement. As a team we believe everyone enters the program as a small flickering spark, but exits a strong flame. As we enter our 7th year, our goals are to encourage coopertition, increase the influence we have in our community, and keep our team a family. …show more content…
Soon we are hoping to add a Jr FLL league to Burnsville’s community. Currently we have two FLL teams and four FTC teams. We work with these local teams hands on to make opportunities for them to learn and experience STEM early on. Students on Team 3184 often go to these teams and help mentor them. We are orientated on giving the opportunity of knowing the expertise of FIRST to every child, but especially focus on the young girls. We want to show them their importance in the world of FIRST. Team 3184 is also involved in FIRST Ladies; we believe the importance of having a growing number of women in STEM is crucial to our society’s future. Having these students start at an early age will help them when they are older and transition to an FRC league, like Blaze Robotics. This will also help them in their future careers with lots of prior knowledge of STEM. Anyone is welcome to come check us out, and we encourage it, on season and off season or off. Every meeting we have aspects of FIRST are being learned and taught. We strongly encourage our team members to be aware of aspects of the team that might not be their specialty. For example, those who specialize at building the robots are aware of the business and marketing areas of the team. It is important to us that we work together and support each other. Every student has a job to be done that is correlated to our benefit. Team 3184 has a strong mission goal to give back to the community that has given so much to us. We take part in several parades yearly to help the spread the fire of Blaze Robotics and FIRST. Our alumni and mentors have also been inspiring and helpful, and we wouldn’t be where we are today without them. Our founding mentor for example, he now works with NASA in San Diego. One of our coaches, Danny Blau, now works for AndyMark in Indiana. Our current lead mentor Sean, won the Woodie Flowers award two years
I founded CAVS 4 VETS after my dad and I had the honor of hosting several veterans from the Wounded Warrior project on our deer lease. After my time with them, I knew my teammates and I could do something to give back to these veterans and others that fought and sacrificed for our freedoms. Lake Travis High School strongly encourages community service, but I wanted to start something that directly benefits our Central Texas Veterans. Cavs 4
We are currently partnered with Franklin University, Columbus State Community College, and Battelle. The place most in need of support is our FTC team, First Tech Challenge. As a team our main message is _________s. In the past, our sister-team at Metro Early College High School has had great success in their First Robotics Challenges, making it to the World Championships
James Irwin’s faculty and staff work together to complete one goal: put the students first.
TNSCTP Scholarship Letter Athlete: Madelynn Weas Madelynn has been voted President of Str8 Shooters Clay Team by her teammates for the last 2 years. She fills the role perfectly with her drive for knowledge, she has been in a leadership roll for years as a 4H Honors/Allstar member. I think that this has helped her perfect her pursuit through coaching or mentoring shotgun sports with SCTP. I can always rely on her to work with me on our new and upcoming youth, her form and stance will always be textbook, this seems to help the youth understand what goal we are working towards. She could and will pursue the roll of coaching to the next level in the future.
The team was lead by captains Nic Jeffries and Andrew Morrison whom the coach said “brought the team together”. The captains always made sure that the team was following routine and doing the correct warm-up and stretching before coach Dornan was there. As a whole, the coach believes that “the boys should be recognized” for what they have achieved and how they were.
As a student I have been a part of the Mustang Varsity Pom squad that not only lets me be involved in all sporting events, but also allows me to reach out and speak to many adults and children in the community. Mustang is
Since the initial club, the organization has grown to 4.8 million kids in more than 4,000 clubs. Their mission is “to enable all young people, especially those who need us most to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.” They also believe in the benefits of creating a safe and fun learning environment for children of all ages as well as “enhancing the development of boys and girls by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging, and influence.” The many programs offered, are designed to aid in overall growth, education, and the importance of a well rounded lifestyle. Thanks to the Boys and Girls Club, life-changing opportunities are being offered to kids all across the
One of the many benefits of the middle school model is that being part of a team forms a bond between the teachers and students. “The team and their students truly become a community of learners.” (Kellough & Kellough, 2008, pg 8) In order for a team to be successful teams must provide tools to help students grow. (Erb, T. O, 2006, pg 5)
September 8th is the day that I will forever remember. Under the shining lights on the Ramapo turf, the Raiders were having their way with us like we didn’t even belong on the field with them. At halftime, it was 21-7 and I told myself that we were not starting the season off 0-1. On the field during a halftime that felt like an hour, the energy on our sideline was dead. Everyone moping around thinking that they were going to put up another 21 points just to run the clock so we could get out of there, but not me.
I became the president of this club in 2015, and have continued to be selected as the president each year since. During my time as president of this club, many conflicts have arisen, and have taught me how important it is to communicate and be open to what others have to say. This could contribute to the Baird community by allowing me to reach out to others when they are in conflict in order to help them resolve it, along with helping me be open to constructive criticism to be able to grow. Another experience that I feel represents what the Baird community represents was when I volunteered for a year at my school as a teacher's aide in a special needs adaptive physical education class. In this class, I helped students with physical and mental disabilities learn how to overcome their
Not only do these clubs recognize academic excellence, they also provide many opportunities for community service. Blood drives, food drives and Operation Christmas Child are only a few of the projects that we participate in throughout the year. I am
The transition from childhood to adulthood occurs when an individual is able to recognize the impact he or she can leave upon their community, gaining life skills doing so. An accomplishment that marked my transition from childhood to adulthood, would be best demonstrated by the process and completion of a leadership responsibility when I performed my Eagle Scout Project. I joined the scouting program when I was very young, and have been very active since ever. Becoming an Eagle Scout has many challenges that a young Boy Scout must undertake, including the completion of a community-based project, which is an important step in obtaining this notable rank. The Eagle Scout Project is designed for the scout to learn different leadership responsibilities.
By pursuing the Master of Science in Education program at UW- Stout, I believe I will be given the tools to succeed in creating learning environments that are inclusive, unique, innovative and engaging. My primary goal as an educator is to serve as a cheerleader and mentor
Dear, Team There are no words I have that can explain what it means to be part of a team. Since walking away from the NFL in April of 2008, I have been on an unplanned quest to fill an empty void of competition, team, and brotherhood. To this day, I believe there is nothing better than high school and college because my teammates (many of whom are are still my best friends today) were a group of like-minded, diverse, fearless competitors who constantly worked to be better for the person standing next to them. The effort that we all gave for each other created an environment and emotion that was bigger than each of us. Knowing that you are part of something greater that you, fueled our motivation to traverse the toughest obstacles.
The team builder of our group, Ron, is the one who has been Typhoon’s nurturer. His role has been valuable when the groups opinions have differed as he has tried to hold the team together and helped the group to resolve different issues. Ron has really fulfilled his role as a team builder as he has listened and encouraged each team member and also contributed with a good team spirit. It is clear that Ron’s personality helps him to do this as he is always in a positive mood and permanently has a smile on his face. Amanda and Dylan are the groups finishers.
