Hillcrest Robotics Students Rock the Salt Lake Comic Con

In the same halls roamed by Star Wars’ R2D2 and The Incredible Hulk rolled a droid designed by the Hillcrest Robotics Team.

HARV-E, the creation of Husky Robotics, participated in the Kid Con portion of the acclaimed Sept. 4-6 event, which drew hundreds of thousands of costumed visitors to marvel in all things sci-fi — and was the first Comic Con in the country to involve FIRST Robotics students. There, about 20 Hillcrest students drove robot HARV-E to perform exhibitions. Students commanded HARV-E to kick and throw giant balls down a court at the event to the delight of throngs of cheering spectators — and even got the Utah Jazz Bear and “Mythbusters” TV star Grant Imahara into the act.

Robotics is part of CSD’s STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) initiative, aimed at preparing students for success in college and the jobs of the future. To donate to STEAM or get involved in FIRST Robotics, visit foundation.canyonsdistrict.org.

Lucie Chamberlain

Alta View Elementary

If a movie about super teachers were ever made, Lucie Chamberlain would be a prime candidate for a leading role. Fortunately for her kindergarten students at Alta View Elementary, she already thrives in a supporting role for them. Parents thank her for being a “super teacher.” She is also described as an “amazing colleague.” Whether students need help in the classroom or from home while sick, Lucie goes above and beyond to help them learn, overcome fears, and feel important and cared for. Lucie is the reason a number of kids went from hating school to loving it, according to parents. The way she exudes patience, sweetness, positive energy, and love for her students with special needs melts is appreciated and admired. One parent noted: “Both my kids wish she could be their teacher forever.” Another added:  “She treats every student like their learning and their feelings are her priority.” Super teacher, indeed!
