Pink Titans participate at FIRST Canada's Girls and Allies Youth Summit

6/4/2022

   On June 4, 2022, two members of the Pink Titans participated at FIRST Canada's Girls and Allies Youth Summit, at The Kingsbridge Centre in King City, Ontario.  Students from FIRST Robotics Competition teams from across Ontario participated.  The students met new peers, learned from mentors about achieving success and managing life's challenges, plus applied skills in communication and team work.  Below is a testimonial from one of the members: 

   I really enjoyed the event. I enjoyed the team building exercises with fellow peers:  We thought of a problem relating to autonomous vehicles, designed a product to help solve the problem, and organized a business pitch for the product. We got advice from five women in engineering, plus learned about their personal journeys and struggles being women and women of colour in STEM. Afterwards, we received one-on-one time with six experienced industry professionals for networking.  I learned about the importance of participating in extracurriculars such as internships, as well as taking care of your mental and physical health during school.  We ended the day with another team building activity where we bought and sold imitation stocks. I was able to practice and improve on communication and teamwork skills, which I think will be useful in every area of my life, especially in academic areas such as our robotics team. Overall, I had an amazing experience. I’m grateful for the opportunity because I learned a lot of useful skills to help me succeed.

   Thanks, FIRST Canada and all the volunteers, for exemplifying and supporting equity, diversity, and inclusion in the community.  Thanks for providing the amazing opportunity!

  Wed. Apr. 13, 2022 was the International Day of Pink.  To help promote the awareness of this day in support of diverse and inclusive communities, the Pink Titans sold pink t-shirts for $15 each.  A portion of the proceeds will go to YouthLink, a local organization supporting youth.  Over three days, a total of 40 t-shirts were sold to staff at David & Mary Thomson C. I., the school site of the Pink Titans.   The Pink Titans thanks everybody for their support of the message, that "together, we are powerful" and nobody needs to overcome challenges alone.

Introduction of Java programming tutorials began today

11/8/2021

Today, students new to the Pink Titans robotics team began the journey of learning Java programming.  The teacher, Marwa Safa, is a graduate of David & Mary Thomson C. I. and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology.  Marwa is currently a software developer, working with BMO.  Ten students, mostly grade 9s new to high school-level programming, downloaded the Eclipse and JDK software.  Afterwards, the students typed a simple code.  The students are excited to be learning Java and thankful to Marwa.  The students can't wait until next week for more programming lessons; thanks, Marwa for your time and help!

  Aaditya, a graduated student from the Pink Titans in 2020, was featured in the Teacher Spotlight of the latest newsletter for the DataWiz Academy of Data Science.  (It's an Ontario accredited private school for teaching data science, offering computer science credits, after-school programs, and summer camps.)  Aaditya has been employed part-time on the weekends as an programming and robotics instructor.  Aaditya is completing his first year in Computer Science program at the University of Toronto.  However, he makes robotics education a part of his schedule.  The Pink Titans are very proud of Aaditya for his  continued leadership role and passion for teaching younger students.
