PROGRAMS: Robotics

The Robotics Program was designed to give FHS students the opportunity for real world engineering, to gain experience working as an integral part of a production team and to obtain skills directly applicable to the workplace.

HIGHLIGHT

Robotics

Students in the Robotics Program build a robot and compete as a part of the First robotics competitions, a program designed to, "transform our culture by creating a world where science and technology are celebrated and where young people dream of becoming science and technology leaders."

The teachers, the people I hang out with, the principal; they encourage me to do my work, keep me happy, and help me with my grades.

INSTRUCTOR

Hugh Morris, PhD

Math and Science, Robotics Instructor

Dr. Hugh J. Morris obtained a BSc in Physics from the University College Cork in Ireland, an MSc in Radiation Physics from University College London and a Ph.D. in Therapeutic Ultrasound from the Institute of Cancer Research, a top tier research facility in Europe. While working as a postdoctoral scholar at the Ohio State University, he has lead teams of Ph.D.s in fund raising efforts, advocacy challenges and initiatives to improve the integration of international postdoctoral scholars into the United States. He is highly trained in the scientific method and has strong technical, analytical and decision making skills.

But, Dr. Morris’s passion lies in instruction and in facilitating learning, so he is delighted to join the faculty on Franklinton High School. With his scientific background, he hopes to inspire his students in the use of math in the real world.
