About

Join our weekly robotics theory sessions! 🤖 Dive into calibration techniques and efficiency hacks. We'll start with the basics and move to advanced topics. This isn't a coding class—I'll share my team's secret algorithms and innovative designs. Plus, you'll get tips to make your robots stand out in competitions. Ready to level up your robotics game and aim for nationals? 🚀 Let's get building!

Tutor Qualifications

I am a competitor in the robocups part of two teams. I competed in the robocup rescue and onstage division. I have won numerous state awards in rescue including coming third in the nationals the year my team decided to do open rescue. As for onstage I have won nationals this season and have been selected to represent Australia in the international comp held all the way in Netherlands.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

You don't have to attend every session, but if you jump into session 10 or 15 without the earlier ones, you might feel like you're trying to build a robot with missing pieces! 🤖 If you miss five sessions in a row without telling me, I'll assume you've been abducted by aliens and excuse you from the program. 🛸👽

About the Tutors

Hi ya, you can call me Emmy or Emma whatever floats your boat. I'm an Aussie high-school student in her final years (or tears, depending on the day), living the cycle of study, snack, sleep, repeat. My subjects? ATAR English, Physics, Spec, Methods, and Chem—plenty to keep me busy! When I’m not studying, I enjoy reading essays and helping out with anything that comes my way. Outside of school, I enjoy playing Tennis, watching Netflix, and procrastinating. HAHA

Hi! I'm Prakruti, an incoming freshman in the Bay Area! Let's see if we have common interests! ☄️ I love astronomy, and it's been my goal for a long time to become an engineer at NASA once I graduate! 🧮 I love math. It's one of my favorite subjects at school! I love math because it's based on logic and reasoning! ⛺ I love camping in my free time! It's comforting to me to escape into the middle of nowhere inside a cozy tent! 👩‍🏫 Tutoring. I currently tutor speech and debate, and I've worked with multiple local organizations in my community. I've also worked with other topics such as astronomy and English. 📱 DM me on Schoolhouse or SHW's Slack @prakruti s if you have any questions, concerns, or comments regarding classes (session requests are always open!) or want to get to know me better :D.
