CSP started as a space program first. We were doing research for NASA as part of the NASA education programs in the early 2000s. By the end of that decade, however NASA had eliminated the programs we were doing so we created our own. The DREAMS program has recently launched its 32nd high-altitude balloon program, flying to 97,000 feet. But most students are interested in CSP for robotics
We started a robotics team in 2009 at Columbus High School, called the Columbus Iron Works. After three years, we changed the program to be a community-wide program and relaunched as FRC team 4188. In the years since, CSP has grown and expanded and become a program that we take very seriously. In fact, you should think of it as a Varsity Sport -- of the mind. And we run the program as a varsity program, with multiple junior varsity and youth recreation programs building to our ultimate team. We are even modifying the program training starting this summer. But, don't worry. You don't have to even know how to hold a screwdriver to make a difference. You can also choose to learn programming or media design and won't need a screwdriver at all. We are holding a Zoom presentation meeting to introduce potential new students to the team. We invite you to join us.
