"We don't just build robots, we use robots to build students." • BIOGLOW 2026
We explore new skills and ideas. We try mechanisms and code we've never attempted before!
We use creativity and persistence to solve problems. When an attachment fails, we invent a new way!
We enjoy and celebrate what we do! We laugh through glitches, high-five effort, and love the journey.
We apply what we learn to improve our world. We research real ocean challenges and help our community.
We respect each other and embrace our differences. Every teammate has a voice and a superpower!
We are stronger when we work together. Builders, coders, and researchers collaborate as one team.
What is Plus'ing? Instead of shooting down a teammate's idea with "No, that won't work," you accept the creative spark and build on top of it: "YES! AND what if we also..."
Nobody fears being called "dumb." When every idea is welcomed, even the quietest teammates share game-changing ideas!
The craziest ideas often hide brilliant engineering solutions. Plus'ing turns wild concepts into real robot mechanisms.
No fighting over whose idea won. Plus'ing weaves teammates' thoughts together so the solution belongs to the whole team!
