The second Annual STEM Fair, hosted by Coronado High School and Coronado Middle School Robotics teams was a resounding success. The fair was held in collaboration with the annual Coronado Public Safety Open House on October 5 and brought together students, educators, and community partners in an exciting and interactive celebration of science, technology, engineering, and math.<\/p>\n

Led by CHS student coordinators Anika Talavera and Sean Wilbur, under the direction of Coronado Unified School District Director of Robotics Roberta Lenert, the event featured interactive opportunities for younger children and showcased the growing impact of STEM outreach.<\/p>\n

\u201cParticipation at the fair for the second year was made possible by the strong partnership with the Coronado Fire Department, including Chief Brian Standing, who has always shown strong support for our students and programs,\u201d shared Lenert.<\/p>\n

Robotics Captain and CHS senior Sean Wilbur echoed Lenert\u2019s appreciation for the Fire Department, \u201cThe Community STEM Fair was a huge success in large part thanks to support from all facets of our Coronado community. Anika and I are incredibly thankful for the CUSD staff and Coronado FD staff who worked with us to put our students into the community spotlight. Our goal for this year\u2019s fair was to make it bigger and better than last year, which meant working with more students, more clubs, and all around bringing more fun to the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coronado\u2019s Fire Chief Standing welcomed the Robotics Club\u2019s second year participating in the 31st annual event, which is cohosted by CFD and Coronado Police Department. He shared that the event is \u201can excellent opportunity for collaboration and for the community to see firsthand the innovative projects and challenges being tackled by Coronado\u2019s future engineers and problem-solvers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The activity booths hosted by CMS and CHS Robotics drew enthusiastic crowds, and reached an impressive 4,216 people.<\/p>\n

\u201cOutreach is an important component of the awards system for the CHS Robotics teams and this event marked significant progress toward the prestigious FTC Inspire Award,\u201d said Lenert. \u201cIt is also a reflection of the dedication and creativity of the student teams.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beyond robotics, the event featured contributions from a diverse array of CHS STEM-focused groups, including the Architecture Club, NJROTC Islander Company, Society of Women Engineers (SWE Next), and Stop the Sewage Club.<\/p>\n

From hands-on demonstrations to meaningful conversations, the fair deepened connections and highlighted the importance of STEM education in shaping future leaders.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn especially fun element of the event was getting to combine our various passions towards a single goal: connecting with Coronado at large. I had an amazing time synthesizing my role as Robotics Captain and Stop The Sewage Managing Director, and we had many robotics team members like Anika who were able to connect their passion for robotics with their hard work in our Island Company ROTC unit,\u201d said Wilbur.<\/p>\n
