Teenagers in Silicon Valley & Milpitas

What’s there to do for teenagers in this town? How do Milpitas and other Silicon Valley cities treat their teenagers?

The Real Teens of Silicon Valley
Inside the almost-adult lives of the industry’s newest recruits. There’s no official tally of the number of teens who work in tech, but Fontenot estimates that there are as many as a hundred recent high school dropouts working on startups in the city. Some were too distracted by programming projects and weekend hackathons to go to class.

Navigating the High Stakes: Teen Life in Silicon Valley
Everywhere you look, there’s a story about a new teen building the next hot startup. Lists like the Forbes 30 Under 30 (which I was shamelessly on) encourage it. It’s part of the culture. This is where I’m torn.

About Roller Coasters

Amusement Park Physics — Roller Coaster
The conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy is what drives the roller coaster, and all of the kinetic energy you need for the ride is present once the coaster descends the first hill.

History of Roller Coasters
From its beginnings as a modified ice slide with wheels, to the looping wonders powered by high voltage electro magnets, roller coasters have had a very colorful history.

Milpitas Xtreme Robotics Making 3D Face Shields

Milpitas Xtreme Robotics is the official robotics club of Milpitas High School, and we aim to offer opportunities for club members to pursue a career in STEM, robotics, and engineering through hands-on experiences with robots. More than just that, however, we’re life-changers and big thinkers. We’re not afraid to get our hands dirty with a robot. We’re a club that works on crazy projects all the time. Our mission is to spark a passion for robotics in our members; to watch them fall in love and to help them never let go.

Milpitas extreme Robotics Club

This past year, our club of 100+ members has worked on 5 major competitions, 5 major projects, 7 hosted programs, and various other outreach events and workshops. Our club had been founded in 2002 but stagnated for years, before its revival in 2016. We won our first trophy in over a decade this year, and soon after, our second, third, and forth. The days we learned of our qualifications to VEX State and 2020 World Championships were a few of the many landmarks we set this year.

Although the recent COVID-19 outbreak has thrown a wrench in our plans, we are pushing forward, doing what we can to do our part in helping slow and stop the virus’ spread. One of the new projects we have undertaken is our effort to 3D print face shield parts in partnership with Maker Nexus to donate to local hospitals, and we have already printed over 50 so far.

Chloe Wang
President, Milpitas Xtreme Robotics
