About the project
We as a robotics team are very new, we were founded last school year. (2022) We have been carried by the dreams and passion of the students who are in the Harlem Rails robotics team, however we are short on funds. The robotics team is open to all who attend Columbia Secondary School, so we are a very diverse robotics team. Holding students of all backgrounds and beliefs within our team, Harlem Rails develops future career skills in technology and robotics. This money is more than just buying robot parts and food for the students in this team, the money allows us to fund their future in robotics.
The Steps
- Buying food and drink the students during their competition
- Buying robot parts for swerve drive modules system, a complex movement system that would increase our teams odds to win in the future.
- Buying t-shirts and sweaters
Why we‘re doing it
Our neighborhoods, Harlem and Washington Heights, have historically been disenfranchised. Money and neighborhood should not prevent children's passion. This is why we are doing this, to secure a future in technology for students.
