With the help of a NASA grant, a few engineers and a lot of will power, 60 students from San Leandro High and Chinese Christian schools participated in a six-week regional engineering project that for most of them was an eye-opening experience.
"When we started, they didn't know the difference between a slot and a Phillips head (screwdriver)," said Joni Carlson, adviser to the Chinese Christian School robotics team. "And those kids built this robot."
The robotics teams from both schools recently came back from participating in the FIRST Robotics Competition, an annual challenge designed to help high school students discover the world of engineering.
