Despite having to learn and construct a robot remotely amid the COVID-19 pandemic, a group of Molokai students persevered to qualify for the 2021 VEX Robotics Remote World Championship.
Eighth graders Maesilyn Yuen and Kalau’ihi Kaai and seventh graders Genesis Nakihei and Mark Ragonton spent the COVID-restricted season passing a robot back and forth between their homes, learning and building remotely with each other.
“I think things ran pretty smoothly, even if we were just talking online and not seeing each other for like three days,” Yuen said during a Zoom call last week. ” . . . That’s one of my favorite things about VEX, is meeting a bunch of different people and I also get to learn more things about STEM, which is always fun to do.”

I’ve
been a career and technical education (CTE) project facilitator for
about three years and was previously a teacher. In 2017, a colleague
brought us the CoderZ
online coding, robotics, and computing platform and said, You
really need to see this. We logged in, played around with the
platform a bit, and really liked it so much so that we wrote a
grant that helped fund our first year of using the platform.
