“All Wired Up,” a local robotics team, has been making significant strides in inspiring middle and high school students from regions including Groveland, Clermont, Minneola, Mascotte, and surrounding counties to develop a deep interest in technology and engineering. Meeting twice weekly in Groveland, these sessions serve as a foundation for students to cultivate essential technical skills. Supplementing these in-person gatherings, the team also conducts virtual sessions focused on Programming and Computer-Aided Design (CAD), ensuring students can advance their proficiency in crucial areas of modern engineering. This dual approach not only makes the learning process flexible but also accommodates a wider range of participants, catering to different learning styles and schedules.
However, the mission of “All Wired Up” extends far beyond mere technical education. The team ardently believes in providing a well-rounded experience by offering training in marketing, business skills, videography, photography, and animation. This holistic educational model equips students with a versatile skill set, making them more well-rounded individuals ready for various challenges in the tech industry and beyond. Recently, the team’s successful fundraiser at Portillo’s Restaurant underscored the robust community support they have garnered. This community backing is pivotal for the team as it underscores the belief in the transformative potential of youth engagement in technology and engineering.
