Underwater Dreams Reflection

In the movie, Underwater Dreams, the main characters took part in a underwater robotics competition. The boys were only in high school, they were competing against some top collages. The boys were undocumented immigrants from Mexico. Their family’s didn’t have enough money. When they were building their robot, the parts used to make the robot were parts from Home Depot while the other schools had expensive parts that were handmade. The boys robot cost $800 to make while the other schools like MIT had sponsors and their robot cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. When they were at the competition they had a lot of issues with their robot. There was flooding where the mother board was, they didn’t know how to solve this issue. But they figured out a way to stop the flooding and were resourceful. They worked super hard on there paper and presentation and they ended up winning the competition! After winning the competition the boys took different paths. They couldn’t do a lot of stuff because they were undocumented immigrants so they couldn’t be engineers like they wanted to be. They inspired many kids at the school that they went to that no matter what your origins are you can do great things.
