Gunn Robotics, Team #192, won at Silicon Valley.

We highlight in our documentary style video:

-our team's year round projects (design challenges, shop renovations over the summer, local soapbox durby, community outreach projects in the fall)

-Strong mentor/student and student/student relationships due to these projects

-The educational value of Gunn's Engineering Tech class (which all members of GRT are enrolled in)

-Our student leadership, management, and machining

-The 2 1/2 week design challenge for 5th grade students in our area which we created, organized, and ran at 7 classrooms (a total of 200 5th graders).

-We also are active with the FIRST lego leauge, volunteering at competitions and as former mentors of a orthpedically handicapped team of 2nd through 5th graders.


All members learn machining and participate in our community outreach projects. Our funding comes from student lead fundraising presentations to local companies, selling ice cream bars, and from student written grants. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!

Good luck to all the great submissions that have made it to Florida- it's going to be a tough competition!

Sincerely,
Caroline Conley
