At Linda Vista Elementary in Oxnard, Calif., young people are enthusiastically taking part in the school’s robust robotics program. According to the school’s robotics coaches, one of the key components of their successful robotics team is enthusiasm for the program from people outside the team. Faculty and parent support have made it possible for their school to make it all the way to National Robotics Competition. Another secret to success? YouTube! “YouTube has been an invaluable resource to help us learn and give inspiration to students who need some direction,” one of their coaches said. “There are a plethora of videos, from simple to complex, on programming and building attachments. This has helped our teams develop more advanced programming skills from year to year.”
