On Oct. 11, 2018, girls of FRC 5719 - Pink Titans continued their cross-panel collaboration with Grades 4-5 girls from Glen Ravine Jr PS. The younger girls received guidance from the Pink Titans on building MakerBots with a screwdriver and wrench; plus following instructions from a manual. As well, the girls learned to program, using Scratch, controls by keyboard and producing sounds on command. The girls also learned to apply light-detecting sensors and programmed the robot to chase a light from a cell phone.
In recognition of the United Nations' International Day of the Girl Child, the Pink Titans spoke to their younger peers about the importance of being themselves without fear of judgement, plus making connections with supportive individuals in fearless pursuit of goals and dreams.
