Fusion's Outreach Within the School:
The “fix-it” kids are here! Whenever there is a problem to solve, no matter if it is technical in nature or not, Team Fusion students are called. As long as electricity is involved, Team Fusion members are on the job. This idea that “they” can solve any problem has filtered into our school’s Technology Applications class.
Design and maintain Gulfport High School website (http://www.gulfporthighschool.com)
Designed brochure and promotional video for patented game: “Checker football”
With help from the Art Department, fabricated a large football helmet that rides atop our robot at football games.
Use a previous FRC robot with an air cannon to shoot t-shirts along with other goodies during pep rallies and football games.
Use our Versa-Laser to laser engrave trophies such as the boys & girls soccer teams (and show them HOW to use it, rather than just doing so)
Team members Marshall Van Loon and Brandon Corner aided science teacher Brett Whitworth in the invention of the “Storm Brace.”
Robot demonstrations at Gulfport, Pass Road, and Biloxi’s science fairs
After Hurricane Katrina, Fusion members helped clean out teachers’ and engineers’ homes and shops that were destroyed
AP Scholarship Program:
Pioneered by a previous team captain, this program provides scholarships to students taking Advanced Placement examinations. This scholarship helps defray the cost of examinations ($84 per exam). Designed for low income and high-achievement students, an application is required before a committee review.
