Robotics Team / Tech Club

Moderator: Stephan Aguanno

The Robotics Team and Tech Club offers students a venue for exploring engineering and scientific issues at a deeper level. Technology is the real-world application of scientific discoveries, so the Tech Club explores ways that scientific discoveries have been made manifest in our world. In a ‘reverse engineering’ sort of way, the Tech Club strives to discern the scientific principles underlying the plethora of technological gadgets that surround us. Students also delve into engineering robots and exploring the basic principles of robotics and the programming necessary to control robotic elements. Our activities are centered on building devices and taking mechanisms apart to see how they work. The Club built a computer; and we have dissembled numerous computers, VCR’s, microwave ovens, copies, and sundry other machines.
