I do have some goals for them, actually. My teacher has asked me to try to teach middle-schoolers programming, so as these students progress at learning how to code, they will start tutoring programming to those who need help. Many of these students also have a great chance of joining our FRC team next year, adding to our programming team!

Also, this club is built into a program that our school runs, the Center of Research in Engineering, Science and Technology. These students will be getting a lot of ideas for automation and to improve technology, which they can bring back to this club and work on in groups.
