On Oct. 1, 2011 teams from both school participated in Advanced Programming training organized by iSPACE: It was a very educational workshop and it was beneficial for both coaches and students. On Sept. 29, 2011, we had our 2nd meeting with kids from our AMIS Robotics Club. This time the kids had their first hand-on experience with a robot, and we've built a table for robot challenges. We also discussed a research papre the kids will be working on. As we are working with our Robotics Clubs, we will be documenting our progress. Below is a video from our first AMIS Roboticts Club meeting: SHPE Cincinnati is moving forward with its effort to established two Robotics Clubs in the Cincinnati area. On Thursday, Sept. 22, the Coaches met with children from Lakota's Hopwell Jr. school, and AMIS (Academy of Multilingual Immersion Studies). In AMIS we had 15 kids participating:
The goal was to introduce the FIRST Lego League concept, learn about the kids' expectations, provide them with a schedule for the reminder of the semester, and start team building. We also had our first "engineering challenge" - a competition to build the tallest tower out of spaghetti and marshmallows.

SHPE Cincinnati is starting two Robotics Clubs for young Hispanics: one in the Lakota's Hopwell Junior High, and one at AMIS (Academy of Multilingual Immersion Studies). This is part of creating a K-12 outreach partnership with local school district officials in order to continue building a pipeline for local Hispanic engineers. It is one of SHPE Cincinnati’s initiatives to identify and sponsor groups of kids through iSPACE FIRST Lego League (Robotics Clubs). For this year, our goal is to have first three Hispanic student teams participatingin a Robotics competition. We are looking for volunteers to be mentors and coaches.
