As part of the OGYC’s Education Programs, we are pleased to announce a presentation by Mr. Alexander Kosyakov (whose family is a member of the club) and Mr. John Callahan, two ambitious 8th grade students at Eastern Middle School, to review their team’s robotic sailboat project at the club on May 9th at 3pm.

Your support by way of a voluntary monetary contribution will assist the students in competing in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada on June 1st-6th

Their presentation will focus on:

1.     Project Choice: why they chose this project and an explanation of the competition.

2.     Design Development: how they went about designing their 2-meter long boat.

3.     Construction Development: how they went about constructing the hardware and actual boat.

4.     Electronics Development: how the boat thinks and how it actually makes itself sail.

5.     Software Development: an explanation of their software and its development, including how they did it and how it works.

6.     Testing Methodology: how the boat is tested.

7.     Funding: the funds they need and why.

This event is being offered at the Club as a fund-raiser to help the team travel to Canada to showcase their work.  This includes a competition among boats from around the world to showcase the boat's performance and many of the others will be designed and constructed by college teams.

Please join us to support this project, something our young people are doing for the sport of sailing. 

Feel free to bring refreshments that can be shared with those attending.

Class is limited to 50.

This is a rain or shine event.
