Mini-Spartans Robotics Team
The Mini-Spartans Robotics team is made up of a group of 6 amazingly talented, creative, and hard working students from Miles STEM Magnet in the City of Huntington Park, California. Since October, these students have devoted several hours a day to building, programming and driving a robot while also engaging in a full blown STEM Research Project---all of this is in addition to their regular classwork. The kids have given it their all along with Coach Hernandez and Coach Peta who stayed after school, devoted several Friday nights, and did their own research on the weekends to get the robotics team started at Miles STEM Magnet.
All of their hard work paid off and their dreams came true on February 25 when the Mini-Spartans took first place in the STEM Research Project and ranked seventh in the Challenge competition at the 2018 California VEX IQ Elem. School State Championship -Southern California! Because of this, the team has qualified for the World Championship to be held in April in Louisville, Kentucky. It is hard to believe that this is the first time that they have ever entered any event like this.
