    2020 has brought us more new challenges than most 2020 has brought us more new challenges than most of us would have thought possible, but we have also continued to find new and innovative solutions to these challenges as they arise. When this whole thing started the hospital’s needed face shields and now with school in full-swing, educators need something too... Teachers and educators have been asked to teach remotely – something that has proved challenging. I am glad to say that we’ve been able to put together a solution for one of their struggles. These document mirrors are designed to show the flat surface in front of the camera with just a quick slip over the back edge of the laptop. Drawing on paper so the kids can see, showing a page of a book or demonstrating a small object becomes easy, and when done with the device, it can be removed quickly with the teacher going back to teaching in less than 5 seconds. Using the 3D printer that we normally use to build robot parts for the FIRST Robotics Competition, we can print them off quickly and reliably and easily finish them off with a small mirror from Amazon. I have included the link below to the model on GrabCAD as well as the Amazon link to the mirrors if you or someone you know is interested. https://grabcad.com/library/document-mirror-1 https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07BVF132J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 If you are interested in getting one of these devices, please send me a message or an email at joel.koscielski@ocera.club. We are asking $10 each for them and any proceeds will go to the ASTECHZ Robotics Team’s 3D printer and the filament it uses to teach kids how to use these amazing machines. Thank you Alison for bringing us the fantastic idea!

    Neha was an amazing addition to our team this year Neha was an amazing addition to our team this year. @neha_munje will be heading off to @university_of_waterloo in the honours mathematics program, which we know she will do amazing in. Neha worked in the controls sub-team and was part of our media team during competition. Neha’s quiet determination will allow her to achieve great things, we can’t wait to see what you do. We hope she will stop by to see us when she is in town.
    Sydney joined the team in grade nine. At the time Sydney joined the team in grade nine. At the time she was incredibly shy and quiet. Each year we witnessed her grow and come out of her shell,so much so, that for the last 2 years she has lead the business sub-team and has been a team co-captain. Leading team meetings and sponsor presentations. It has been a great honour to see her transformation and can’t wait to see what she chooses to do. Sydney’s hard work along with the business team earned us the entrepreneurship Award this season. @syd_robot_lover plans to take a gap year before heading off to post secondary school.
    Today we wish Oliver good luck on the next step of Today we wish Oliver good luck on the next step of his journey. @ollybake joined Team 2994 as a quite, candy loving grade nine student. He quickly learned all that he could about FRC. For the past 2 years he has been our team captain and drive coach. He has worked on the controls, fabrication and design team. Oliver is heading off to the @university_of_waterloo in the astronomy and physics program in pursuit of becoming an Astrophysicist. It was a pleasure to have Oliver as part of the team he was always willing to help and learn anything that was needed as well he always had candy.
    Today’s senior leaves huge shoes to fill. Rumais Today’s senior leaves huge shoes to fill. Rumaisa has worked in both the controls and fabrication sub-teams, as well as having been our safety captain for the last 3 years. @rumaisasylvar has won 3 regional safety awards, 1 provincial safety award and many safety stars of the day. Rumaisa is heading off to @ottawa.university in health sciences in hopes of becoming a Psychiatrist or Surgeon. We know she will achieve anything she sets her mind to. Rumaisa you be will be greatly missed and we hope you drop by to check on our safety standards.
    Rhys also joined the team in grade nine, and hasn’t looked back since. He found a love for wiring and pneumatics early on, thanks to some very talented mentors. Rhys leaves us as the outgoing lead for the controls sub-team. Through out his years on the team he has helped many students and other teams understand and learn how to wire a robot. We wish him all the best on the next step of his journey and hope to see him at a few meetings next year.
    Today’s graduating student is Kieran. @kieran.ca Today’s graduating student is Kieran. @kieran.carson27 is heading off to @carleton_fed to study Mechanical Engineering. Kieran joined the team as a shy, quiet grade 9 who quickly found his talent in the design team. He worked so hard that in grade 10 he was appointed the student team lead of the design team and has remained as such. His organization and attention to detail has set in place many procedures and policies that keep the design process a fluid one. Kieran is always willing to step in and help any student on any sub team. We hope to see Kieran around and wish him much success at Carleton.
    Today’s senior spotlight is Ryan. Ryan will be h Today’s senior spotlight is Ryan. Ryan will be heading off to @westernuniversity in the Medical Science program to start his path to become a doctor. Ryan has been Team 2994s driver for a number of years, mastering each year’s game. He leaves big shoes to fill. Good luck Ryan, we know you can do this.
    Today we spotlight Farishtay. @farishtay_z_y joine Today we spotlight Farishtay. @farishtay_z_y joined Team 2994 in grade 9 and has not looked back since. She mastered bumpers and vinyl pressing. Her smiling face and positive attitude will be missed. Farishtay will be attending @carleton_fed for software engineering in the fall. We wish her the best of luck and hope to see her around.
