18908 Mighty Hawks is a both VEX and FTC team that was established in 2021 at Harmony School of Excellence-Laredo. This team is composed of five current juniors. We meet From Monday to Thursday from 3 pm to 6 pm and Friday's from 1 pm to 3 pm.
our goal
The Mighty Hawks will work towards achieving several goals for this season, but the most agreed-upon goal is to grow as a team. With this, we mean not just win awards (like the inspire award, the robot design award, etc.), but we also mean to apply our core values, show Gracious Professionalism in competition and throughout our lives, as well as inspire our communities to participate in STEM-based activities.
Team Plan: Our objective this year is to promote STEM through robotics in our community. We believe that we have achieved this goal by participating in STEM-related activities, such as Math and Science UIL, presenting FTC robotics to middle school students that will enter high school next year at our annual STEM Fair, helping younger FLL members with their innovation projects and programming their robots, and presenting our robots to the people of our city in our annual winter parade.

Outreach
This season the Mighty Hawks decided to help out our younger FLL sister teams Tech Talons & Girls Do STEM, they are First Lego League teams of middle schoolers pursuing STEM careers. We helped them for about two months, sharing our prior knowledge of FLL.
The Mighty Hawks fundraised Christmas packs containing one Lego Christmas tree and one plushie to raise money for team shirts, hospitality, and competitions. We raised about $600.
We traveled to Nuevo Laredo, Mexico to surprise orphaned children with presents and donuts.
For the past 3 years (2021-2024), we have gone to the Texas A&M International University, TAMIU, to learn about petroleum engineering and more!
We went to our sister school, Harmony School of Innovation, to teach 5th graders the importance of FTC & FLL and how it works. In addition, we helped them improve their designing skills by helping them build towers made up of paper, tape, and popsicle sticks.
The 2023 year, we decided we wanted to bless families for Thanksgiving. We traveled all the way to El Cenizo, and donated food for the holiday. Families were really happy and we were satisfied with the outcome.
Mighty Hawks surprised the basketball boys‘ by helping them decorate the gym and locker room for parents night. We motivated them by using STEM anecdotes. This gave us points because we made them laugh.
On January 3, 2024, the Mighty Hawks joined an FRC zoom conference. This helped us improve our programming abilities, strategic designs, autonomous, and many other things.
On January 9th , the Mighty Hawks took cupcakes to the Laredo Police Department and Sheriff's Office on National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day to thank police officers for their service.
On February 24, the Mighty Hawks went to Laredo College to recruit new students to Harmony robotics. This allowed us to persuade the minds of the future to join robotics.
