Friends of Hawai'i Robotics

Wishing all robotics students, teachers, mentors, advisors, patents, volunteers, individual contributors and corporate partners a very HAPPY AND SAFE THANKSGIVING!

Over 20 teams applied for @friendsofrobots APRECIATION GRANT! Inspiring work by STEM students across the state. Award announcement by May 3rd.

Recently @Mid-PacificOwlRobotics embarked on a new challenge called the "Innovation and Imagination Student Challenge." Students from grade school to college were invited to participate in this design challenge. Participants were required to build something which is "innovative" and "imaginative" using local Hawaiian hardwoods. The Owls decided to build an ancient Hawaiian protector robot called "Kia'i". They used woods such as koa, mango, monkeypod, eucalyptus and mahogany i...n their design. Although they entered this competition purely for the experience, the team won first place in the high school division as well as recognition for the most promising young artist. We wanted to share the news as we continue to inspire school teams to find new ways of enjoying robotics during these unprecedented times! Congratulations to @weylandbailey and all team members! @angelawong @corrieheckscott @lennyklompus

INNOVATION TODAY, FOR TOMORROW! With the unprecedented pandamic impacting our state, country, and neighbors around the world, we need to support our Hawaii robotics students now more than ever. December 31st is the last day in 2020 to contribute to the future of STEM education through our 501(c)(3) not-for-profit. Mahalo! Healthy and Happy New Year!... http://www.friendsofhawaiirobotics.org/donate
