Rotary Club: Escondido Project Title: Robotics Team 1. Describe the project. What was done, when and where did project activities take place? This grant supported the Robotics program at San Pasqual High School. This program allowed the students to develop a variety of science, engineering & business expertise through hands on experiences.

Building Robotics inspires creativity and enhances learning yet offers no grade or classroom credit. The success of the students of the Robotics team goes beyond high school. The vast majority of these students pursue a higher education: the list of colleges and universities they have matriculated include: Stanford, Harvey Mudd, & U C Berkley. .More than half of these students are attending with scholarships.
