About This Project
Summary
"Project 212: Engineering the Future" follows the robotics team from Ygnacio Valley High School in Concord, which serves a predominantly low-income and underresourced community. The team is roughly 75 percent Hispanic and Filipino first-generation students. Half are female. These characteristics uniquely distinguish Project 212 from the robotics teams they compete against in California. This short film about building tomorrow's leaders showcases the power of youth mentorship and STEM education.
