Congratulations to the Valencia High School (VHS) Val Tech Boeing interns for winning the Best Overall Robot award during their summertime robotics competition. \u00a0The competition objective was to create a robotic car that would drive around a course and never hit a wall. \u00a0Unlike their opponents, the VHS car never touched\u00a0the wall once.<\/p>\n
The cars were judged on functionality, creativity, and “Boeing-ness.” \u00a0All teams of interns were given a car kit that they had to assemble and then program using the C programming language. \u00a0Competing teams included students from Brea, CAMS, Diamond Bar, Fairmont, Ocean View, Orange Lutheran, Sage Hills, Sunny Hills, Troy, Tustin, Westminster, and Whitney high schools.<\/p>\n
During their 150-hour internships, these Val Tech students worked in a variety of fields including engineering simulation, composites manufacturing, site integration, software engineering, and web design. Each intern had a Boeing employee as a mentor\/supervisor who assigned tasks that VHS students tackled alongside Boeing employees. These students gained invaluable and amazing work experience as they significantly contributed to real-world Boeing projects.<\/p>\n
Great job, Tigers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
