throughouta student’s school career. However, making technology accessible for learning is challenging dueto cost, safety and implementation concerns. This paper describes a method for drawing oncurrent, real life challenges faced by researchers in the field and translating such experiences intoa secondary school level program. The concept of the competition, application of LEGOMindstorms® robotics platform, methods of organization and expansion, past experiences andfuture plans are presented. Our goal is to show an example of how to integrate off-the-shelfrobotic technology with current real-world engineering challenges and to engage students in thefields of engineering, robotics, and medicine in a fun and exciting atmosphere.Introduction and

. The design of another building for the orphanage, while within thescope of a capstone course, did not meet the current needs of the orphanage. At the initialmeeting the idea of building a cross on a hill overlooking the orphanage was discussed. The crosswould serve as a symbol of hope for the boys and the surrounding villages in the valley. Theselection of this project in a third world country would offer the students some interesting designchallenges, tie directly to the University’s Catholic mission, and provide the feasibility of beingconstructed in one week. Consequently, plans were made to focus the course around the designand construction of a 25-foot tall reinforced concrete cross.Course DescriptionThe capstone course is allotted three

Under the rightimplementations, one is able to predict class size and composition with great accuracy, anda single plan can serve for several years. Instructor assignments can be made with longlead times, and the overall cost of attracting students drops precipitously. These areenormous benefits, if indeed the formation of these cohorts can be achieved efficiently.This leads to the second point cited above.

We were planning to introduce concepts of appliedspectrometry in order to later develop into a color vision model as an application of multi-spectral imaging instead as a technology mimicking human color vision. We were also lookinginto lighting schemes, both structured and non-structured, and also at real-time image acquisitionmethodologies.

The attempt to supportBlackness while neglecting the racialized experiences of Black students at the hands of Whitesupremacy is a phenomenon scholars have found to be commonplace among PWIs. As PWIsbegan establishing themselves as educational and research powerhouses, White malesupremacy was the grounding ideology for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) education (Slaton, 2010). Scientific racism in the 1800s and 1900s was a product ofperceptions and beliefs about the inferiority of Black people (Roberts, 2011). These beliefspermeate
