(Completed as a team. Participants will work together to plan and complete their journey.)
Example Activity: Technology exploration visiting science centers, tech companies, or university labs to see robotics and AI in action.
Example Team Goal: Our team will visit at least 3 tech-focused locations, participate in hands-on workshops or demos, interview professionals about their work, and present what we learned about how technology is changing our world.
Example Assessor/Supervisor: Technology teacher, science center staff, or Award Leader
Example SMART Goal: Exploring tech all day means I need to stay active! I’m committing to one hour of cardio three times a week for 13 weeks, mixing running, cycling, and swimming to build overall fitness.
Example Assessor: Gym teacher, fitness instructor, or recreation center staff
Example Log: Did a 30-minute run today and felt strong the whole way. Mixing up activities keeps it interesting. Cycling tomorrow! Energy levels are way better than before I started this routine.
Example SMART Goal: Robotics is my passion! I’m attending weekly robotics club meetings for 13 weeks and building a robot arm project on my own time. Goal: have a working prototype by the end.
Example Assessor: Robotics club advisor, technology teacher, or makerspace coordinator
Example Log: Learned about servo motors at club today and started assembling my robot arm frame. The wiring is complex but I’m figuring it out. Testing the first joint movement next week.
Example SMART Goal: I want to help raise money for STEM education. I’m volunteering with a local organization that provides robotics programs to schools, helping plan fundraising events over 13 weeks.
Example Assessor: Organization volunteer coordinator, event planning staff, or community program manager
Example Log: Helped research venues for our fundraiser today. Learning about event logistics. There’s so much to consider! The organization provides robotics kits to schools that can’t afford them. Reaching out to potential sponsors next week.
