Workshops

China Annual Rookie Teams 2-day Workshop - CUYRA and RoboTerra- Sponsored Teams

Day One

On March 27th and 28th, Team 6439 from Shanghai China came to our campus, Waialua High and Intermediate School, for a workshop in preparation for the Hawaii Regional that weekend. On the first day of the workshop we gave our guest teams a tour of our robotics facility. We started the day off in the cafeteria where we ate breakfast and socialized with one another. After breakfast, we visited U-Building where we showed them where we practice, program, document, and design our banners, binders, t-shirts and more. We then went to the Stock Room and the Auto Shop. In the Auto Shop we introduced the machines that we use to make our robots. We showed them where we CAD our robot and assemble it together. After our tour, we showed Team 6439 what Oahu has to offer and guided them around Haleiwa, a historic town located on the North Shore.

DAY TWO

On day two, Team 6439 got the full experience of what it means to be a Waialua High School student. They went to a few classes throughout the day, guided by robotics students, and got to see what an American school was like. Once school ended, they got a lesson on programming and learned more in depth about the parts of the robot and how everything works by one of our programmers, Lauren Yamamoto. After the long day, we took them to explore more of our small town here on the North Shore. We took the team to one of many beautiful beaches on the North Shore as they were able to see a few more sights along the way. It was a fun two days with our new friends. That same weekend, the Hawaii Regional occurred and Team 6439 did really well as they captured the Highest Rookie Seed and the Rookie Inspiration Award!
