“Through robotics, I overcame the challenge of doing the same thing several times to perfect it. It has improved my perseverance and rigour.  Also, what I appreciated about robotics is the teamwork that is done as well as seeing each person be really passionate and involved in what she does. It’s nice to see the investment each one of them makes. In addition, I learned to use machines like saws and drills. I also learned how to express my ideas clearly so that everyone understands.”

“I learned to set deadlines. In a way, I gave myself a certain period of time during which I had to finish a certain action or a certain part of the robot. Also, I really enjoyed working with all the girls and seeing the advanced work and talking with different teams about their projects. In addition, I used to be very scared, when I saw a piece of wood or aluminum I had to cut because I could hurt myself, but I managed to overcome this fear.”

“During my work, I learned to use many new machines. So I understood the importance of being attentive and precise in everything I do, even if it takes more time. Also, the biggest challenge for me was to integrate robotics meetings into my weekly schedule. But despite all that, I enjoyed all the small successes because there was a lot of work and time invested in each task. In addition, I loved the atmosphere of working in a group, it is completely different from the one at school.”

“I learned from my many hours of robotics work that you should never start building without a plan, you always have to be prepared. Also, at first, I was afraid of hurting myself using the drill and the power tools, but I managed to overcome this fear. Finally, I would never forget my experience of Marcelline robotics because I had so much fun working with people who were as passionate as me, and most importantly, I would never forget how good the food was.”

“I enjoyed the construction of the first robot for the open house of our school because it was the first time I saw how it all worked. I was very impressed. The thing I’m most proud of is the programming of our first robot, because it required a lot of research, trials, and failures. I learned that the robot presented at the competition is built together and that, in the end,  it’s our combined efforts that will allow us to stand out on the day of the competition.”

“I understood that it was necessary, from the beginning to separate and manage the work between the three of us. It was also necessary to communicate to successfully combine our programs together. In addition, we had to start from scratch for the programming and had to do a lot of research to understand tons of new topics and terms. But it was not so bad, the satisfaction I felt when the program, I had spent hours writing, was working was well worth it.”

“I learned that I could not work on an empty stomach and that I needed a lot more sugar than I thought to get to the end of the day. In addition, what I found difficult was the fact that we were launched alone in the game and it was necessary to quickly understand the basics of programming, but after several types of research, I began to get used to the coding. I also like working as a team because, for example, when I was going through difficult times and couldn’t finalize a code, everyone was there to reassure me and help.”

“I learned to work as a team and to express my ideas. To be able to do that, I had to step out of my comfort zone. Also, one of the biggest challenges I had to overcome was translating big texts into English in a certain time limit. I enjoyed the workdays we had during Saturday’s because I was able to progress even more with my translations and especially because we dined with all the other members of the Marcelline Robotics team.”

“I learned to surpass myself and never give up, even when the task was getting more difficult. I loved unleashing my creativity and all my imagination. It was rather fun to share my ideas with others. What I found most complicated was to adjust our plans to the dimensions of the kiosk and its components which were fairly restrained due to the size of the doors. Thanks to our hard work, we solved all of these small problems.”

Through research on the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe), I finally managed to create something that I was satisfied with. What I appreciated was that I was able to express all my creativity. I would always remember that feeling of pride when completing something. Thanks to all my work, I had the chance to learn how to use the After Effects software.”
