“Joel Bianchi, coach of Frederick Douglass Academy’s Harlem Knights, says his students have achieved similar success: “Robotics awakens them to saying, ‘Hey, math and science aren’t just some abstract things in a book.’” For example, if the wiring’s wrong or the robot topples over or someone just forgot the batteries, they have to fix it. Learning to troubleshoot has helped some team members land Ivy League scholarships to prestigious engineering programs.”
