Can I earn community volunteer hours while performing duties for the Robotics team?
Based on the Community Involvement Manual (Toronto District School Board, 2011):
Yes
  • The service happens outside of regular instructional time of a day.  The service can happen during lunch, before school, after school, and during the student's spare period class.
    • e.g.  In formally-designated time, assisting coach for preparing team members for success (e.g. running practices, tutoring)
    • e.g.  Helping to organize an event -  set-up, deliver, clean-up
No
  • Any robotics team-related event that would have students miss instructional class time.
  • Duties normally performed in the student's home (e.g. daily chores) or personal recreational activities.
    • ​e.g.  Building robot parts, progrmaming code, cleaning up the robotics spaces, organizing the tools, social media during down time.
