MICA

We are a second year neighborhood team made up of three friends who attend three different schools: Catlin Gabel School, Oregon Episcopal School, and Village Home Resource Center. We are tied together by our common interests. We all love math and science. We all play baseball and we are all musicians. And we all think robots are too cool. We placed 2nd overall (Champions Award) in our Qualifying Tournament and placed 2nd in Robot Design: Strategy & Innovation at the Intel Oregon FLL State Championship! Our project idea came from our research about the challenges senior citizens face every day. We interviewed many senior partners, EMTs (emergency medical technicians), an orthopedic surgeon, and technology entrepreneurs. The more we learned, the more excited we got! Our goal is to develop a practical invention that will save senior lives and help seniors remain independent.
