Summerbridge:
Synopsis:
At one point during this project. we took a step back and looked at the US, and in particular, the area where we reside. We saw a great opportunity to do robotics at my school, Moravian Academy, and in particular, the organization, Summerbridge. Summerbridge is an organization that busses children in from underprivledged communities to participate in classes. We reached out to them, interested in starting a stem club at the school, and they met us with excitement and cooperation.
Quotes:
Shiv worked closely with students in the program Summerbridge helping lead the STEM club for 4 weeks. In those 4 weeks, Shiv provided the students opportunities to interact with lego sets to build a functional car model, and created instructions via coding. The students were fully engaged and immersed in the activities and recommended the club to other students.
-Jarred Weaver, Head of Summerbridge
Shiv was a great pleasure to work with. The students really enjoyed the experience of learning new techniques and creating a functional robot out of legos, as well as learning how to properly code and think a step ahead. Shiv was a natural teacher and was able to connect and empathize with every student making the learning experience very enjoyable!
