On August 24, 2016 Cougarbots from San Ysidro High School had a demonstration booth at the NDIA 28th Navy Gold Coast Small Business Procurement Event.
The purpose of Gold Coast is to provide a forum to educate, guide, and assist businesses, especially small businesses, in working with the government, primarily the Department of Defense.
Conference attendees were surprised with the caliber of STEAM opportunities our students receive at Sweetwater Union High School District.
Our students left awed and inspired with all technology related companies and their gadgets. Thank you Carrie Northum, San Ysidro High School Science Teacher and VEX Robotics Advisor for your participation.
