23-24
DR. ART VILLANUEVA
Dr. Art Villanueva has a Systems Engineering PhD and is currently working at DELL Technologies.
We met with him over a zoom call, and he taught us about the industry practices that he uses in his work.
Two of the most important takeaways were unit testing and a software development model called AGILE.
LWBE STEM NIGHT
Our team hosted a demonstration of our robot at Laura Welch Bush Elementary.
We allowed the students to drive around the robot on an obstacle course.
In addition, we held another station where we explained about FLL and FTC.
We were able to spread the word of FIRST by passing out 83 FIRST flyers to participants.
cODEX
We hosted a two hour coding session, dedicated to educating those in our community
During that time, we taught the basics of FTC Java and introduced coding concepts to the students
After that, we provided them a demonstration of our robot.
Overall, we were able to teach 30+ students about FTC software.
CHRIS RITTER
We Reached out to Chris Ritter, a Principal Systems Engineer working at DELL.
He also taught us about AGILE, similarly to Dr. Art Villanueva
We applied these concepts into our practice, to ensure that our code is high quality.
