Prepping for Competition and Life

During the course of the R3 program, each student is expected to demonstrate and maintain mastery of topics in English, Mathematics, and Science. As such, students will have time programmed into each day to specifically sharpen these skills along with time to do their daily homework. The R3 program staff will have regular communication with one of each student's teachers to ensure that the student is making adequate progress in their daily classes. 

​

Focus on STEM Skills

Student will use the Engineering Design Process, an iterative method of design planning and execution, to reach the ultimate goal of producing challenge products in three different types of robot technology as well as rocketry. Along the way, we hope to help students to adhere to these guiding principles throughout each challenge term: 

1. Maintain accuracy in record-keeping and communicate findings.
2. Research topics and determine good, reliable sources of information.
3. Analyze small parts of systems and see
relationships; notice details in content and process.
4. Recognize cause and effect relationships and distinguish fact and opinion.
5. Use mathematical skills for calculations and measurements.
6. Predict and draw conclusions using data.
7. Read and understand technical materials.
8. Repair equipment and use software.
9. Communicate with others and listen.
10. Think creatively and solve problems and experiment.

​

Although the program is squarely and explicit focused on STEM skills it's also imperative that students also develop employability skills which will make them attractive to business firms and educational institutions right away.

​

Employability Skills:

• Communication

• Teamwork

• Problem solving

• Initiative and enterprise

• Planning and organization

• Self-management

• Learning

• Technology
