Robotics in the Library: August 2017

Patrick Myslik, Sam Paulson and Rocket Otte celebrating a working robot with the youth of Deschapelles! Click on the photo to read their blog.

A group of students from Region 4 Valley Regional High School (Chester, Deep River, Essex) travelled to Deschapelles in the summer of 2017 with their parents to share their love of robotics.  Entitled the “Deschapelles Robotics Initiative”, the group  spent nearly a week in Deschapelles working with 15 children ages 8-14 on how to build a robotic tractor (the Track3r) and maneuver it using robotic mechanisms.  They created a blog that can be viewed by clicking here.

As Patrick Myslik, Sam Paulson and Rocket Otte explain in their blog: “Patrick, Rocket and I all thought it was awesome to share something we are passionate about with other kids who were just so excited to learn something new. Sharing our knowledge with these kids to teach them new skills left us smiling. We felt immense gratification knowing how much we accomplished in just a single day. In addition, we feel really good knowing that once we leave these kids they will have skills to further their own robotics abilities and be able to teach others themselves.”

Besly Belizaire: Rising Up to be a Leader in His Community: 2020

Back in March of 2020, when the world first learned about Covid-19, one of the things we heard over and over again was “wash your hands.” For those of us in the States, that is a fairly simple task; we have running water at our sinks, and we can purchase soap with a simple trip to the grocery store. For our friends in Deschapelles, Haiti, that is a luxury that not many have. Read more…
