The Tiki Techs currently hold a 100% college send off rate and we don't plan on stopping. So why no visit some of the top colleges in the United States of America and inspire kids to "Strive for the Summit?"
A few of the carious colleges we have visited over the years:
A few of the carious colleges we have visited over the years:
- Northwestern University
- Columbia University
- Stanford
- University of Chicago
- Washington University at St. Louis
- University or California at Los Angeles
- University of Hawaii Manoa
- University of Hawaii Hilo
- New York University
Being isolated in Hawaii, many students don't receive the opportunity to tour potential colleges on the mainland. On our robotics trips, we like to give students these opportunities.
VEX & FIRST Championships
During our two week trip to VEX and FIRST Championships, we saw four different universities; University of California Los Angeles, University of Washington in St. Louis and Nothwestern University. Each university showed the students the benefits of each school and the campus life. We took student and self-guided tours on each campus as well as eating in two different school dining halls, giving us a chance to feel how to campus dynamics worked with and without interference of guides.
The mission of Washington University in St. Louis is the promotion of learning - learning by students and faculty. Founded in 1853, Washington University in St. Louis is an international renowned school with their fields. This school is approximately 6,000 undergraduate students and 1,000 graduate students.
VEX Nationals
The robotics students who attended this competition were also part of Kealakehe High School's Model United Nations Club who went to New York City to take part in the National High School Model United Nations Conference. While in New York, we received a student guided tour of New York University.
When we flew to Chicago, we took a self-guided tours of Northwestern University and University of Chicago.
Big Island VEX Robotics Invitational Tournament
The rem visited the University of Hawaii- Hawaii Community College and learned about the Architecture and Welding Courses. We examined blueprints of houses and created a house using Computer-Aided Design (CAD). We also saw the department's 3D printer that they use to make model houses. A college student taught us how to use surveying equipment.
At the welding department, we learned about different sorts of welds and saw their plasma cutter in action!
