NOW WE HAVE A DEMONSTRATION FOR YOU: Aja: Smart Chip Laura: Detector/Thermoplastic Jahziah: Astronaut Chloe: Blood Morgan: Radiation Addison: Narrator
Addison: Our astronaut is hard at work! She is inspecting the ISS for any damage. While she is outside of the ISS, she is more likely to get harmed by radiation. RAD chip is also
hard at work so she doesn't have to worry as much about radiation and can focus on her job. Let's check out what RAD chip is up to!
Aja: {while pretending to write on clipboard} Detector, are you ready?
Chloe: {while making flowy noises and gestures}
Laura: YES!
Aja: You are cleared to go!
Laura: {Link arm & arm with Chloe -Take a stroll around Jahziah -After you and Chloe return to Aja} Everything is clear!
Chloe: {Continue blood flow noise}
Aja: {While writing on clipboard} 11:42am, everything is clear. Detector, are you ready?
Laura: YES!
Aja: You are cleared to go!
Laura: {Link arm & arm with Chloe -Take a stroll around Jahziah -After you and Chloe return to Aja} Everything is clear!
Aja: {While writing on clipboard} 11:43am, everything is clear.
Annie: {While Laura comes back, make your way to Jahziah and slyly stick a sticker on her arm} Mwaahahha, I have taken over this humans body and made it so that she is sick and unhealthy.
Addison: Or that is what the radiation at least thought, but it turned out that our Astronaut had come prepared with a backup plan.
Aja: Detector, are you ready?
Laura: YES!
Aja: You are cleared to go!
Laura: {Link arm & arm with Chloe -Take a stroll around Jahziah -Remove sticker -After you and Chloe return to
Aja} We ran into a small problem, RAD Chip, prepare the army of Thermoplastic!
Aja: {While writing on clipboard} 11:44am, slight problem. Preparing army of Thermoplastic. Thermoplastic No. 1, are you ready?
Laura: YES!
Aja: You are cleared to go!
Laura: {Link arm & arm with Chloe -Take a stroll around Jahziah -Remove 2 stickers} That is all I can handle. Go back to RAD Chip and retrieve the next Thermoplastic!
Addison: Thermoplastic No. 1 has completed its duties. RAD Chip isn't done yet as it
continues to send out more Thermoplastic drops.
Chloe: {Return to Aja & continue blood flow noise}
Laura: {Return separately from Chloe}
Aja: {while writing on clipboard} Thermoplastic No. 1 has not returned. Thermoplastic No. 2, ARE YOU READY??
Laura: YES!
Aja: You are cleared to go!
Laura: {Link arm & arm with Chloe -Take a stroll around Jahziah -Remove 3 stickers} That is all I can handle. Go back to RAD Chip and retrieve the next Thermoplastic!
{Chloe and Laura, continue removing stickers, silently}
Addison: At this point, our astronaut has started to feel a little queasy. Because of her training, she quickly realized that she must retreat back in to the ISS and seek medical attention.
Jahziah: {holding stomach} I'm not feeling to good. I need to get inside as soon as possible!
Addison: While our astronaut is making her way to the infirmary, RAD Chip does not stop until it is out of Thermoplastic drops.
Addison: We are the RoboThinkers, Green, Team #31100 from York, Pennsylvania.
Addison: My name is Addison, I am in 5th grade. My career choice is to be a Biomedical Engineer. Learning how to build attachments will benefit me in the future.
Chloe: My name is Chloe, I am in 7th grade and I plan to be a Robotics Engineer. FLL teaches me how gears work and the beginning of programing.
Morgan: My name is Morgan, I am in the 8th grade and I plan to be a public speaker. Robotics will help me in the future by giving me experience on speaking in front of people.
Aja: My name is Aja, I am in the 7th grade and I want to be an Aerospace Engineer. This FLL group will benefit me by learning how the mechanics work.
Laura: My name is Laura, I am in 7th grade and I want to be a veterinarian. Building surgery assist robots will help animals recover faster after surgery (Don't say this: Because they make smaller incisions)
Jahziah: My name is Jahziah, I am in 6th grade and I want be an Aerospace Engineer. This FLL program has helped me with social skills and teamwork. Now we have a Core Values presentation that we have prepared for you.
Discovery: We explore new skills and ideas. Chloe: In class, we discovered that everyday things are more difficult in space. There are still problems in space, like exposure to radiation. Steps are taken to prevent it but our astronauts are still exposed to radiation today.
Innovation: We use creativity and persistence to solve problems. Morgan: We used creativity and persistence by not giving up after one of our ideas failed. Instead, it took a lot of brainstorming, but we found another solution that just might work.
Impact: We apply what we learn to improve our world. Addison: Our team is part of a nonprofit organization called The Young Thinkers of York. We are a unique team because we work together, weekly, with our sister team and we are both all girl teams. Our group is sponsored by the community and individual contributions. Each of us have reached out to local businesses, friends and relatives to gain sponsors. Not only have we received help from our community, we gave back to the community as well. We were involved with "Back to School Drive", First Friday of York and had a spot at the Girl Scout STEM Expo where we educated other students about our program.
Inclusion: We respect each other and embrace our differences. Aja: Getting to know each other helped with our confidence. We are not afraid to express our opinions and suggest ideas for our project. We respect others ideas and never want to exclude anyone. Whenever we have multiple ideas or options, we each explain our idea and everyone takes a vote.
Teamwork: We are stronger when we work together. Laura: We are also not afraid to ask for help. We have had other members of more advanced FLL groups visit us and help with building and programing. Every week, we work together with our sister group. We always help each other because we know that we go further working as a team.
Fun: We enjoy and celebrate what we do! Jahziah: This season has been full of hard work and fun! During our long practices, we have had face paint and pizza breaks! We were lucky to have been interviewed by ABC 27 and York Daily Record. We have also been on many field trips including visiting York Exponential, the Udvar-Hazy Space Center and we even had a table at the Girl Scouts STEM Expo!
