Fulfilling the dream
Three years ago Sterling High School began the Golden Bots robotics team in hopes of bringing those with a love for technology and science together. The group began with only a screwdriver and around 13 people but has since grown into a team of 25 students.
For years Sterling schools have been incorporating STEM into the classroom with new courses trying to get students interested in technology. SHS Golden Bots incorporated this passion outside of the classroom and formed a team of students that began by competing in the 2017 season of FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology).
The mission of FIRST is to inspire young people to be leaders in science and technology by engaging them in mentor-based programs that build science, engineering, and technology skills, while also building self-esteem, life skills, and community awareness.
Golden Bots in the community
Since 2018 Golden Bots have been visiting Elementary and Middle Schools as a way of promoting STEM related activities. This interaction with students has created a community interest to join STEM centered projects. With our inspiration and support the elementary school has started a Lego Junior team. These students will develop their skills and become Golden Bots in the future.
On the middle school level, the Golden Bots are committed to mentoring a First Lego League team at our feeder school, Challand Middle School. The Golden Bots will assist in developing the FLL team and provide assistance with the administration.
The team creates a summer institute week for teens as a way to promote logic, engineering, and math. Our most recent project included a robot programmed to deliver food at a corn boil fundraiser.
How are the Golden Bots Unique?
Supporting the Sterling Golden Bots is a chance for your company to provide support for students interested in careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).
We are an excellent means through which you can give back to your community and support the future of your business by investing in today’s students.
