🤖 "Spare Parts: Four Undocumented Teenagers, One Ugly Robot, and the Battle for the American Dream" - A Tale of Triumph Against All Odds! 🌟


Dive into the inspiring story of "Spare Parts," a book that captures the heart and soul of a true underdog journey. Written by Joshua Davis, this narrative isn't just about a robotics competition; it's a profound exploration of hope, resilience, and the pursuit of dreams against the toughest odds.

📘 What's Inside the Book?


"Spare Parts" tells the riveting tale of four Latino high school students who defy expectations in an extraordinary way. Born in Mexico and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, these brilliant minds come from an underfunded public high school. Despite their undocumented status in the U.S., they band together to compete in the Marine Advanced Technology Education Robotics Competition at the University of Santa Barbara in 2004.

But this isn't just any competition. With limited resources and a heap of ingenuity, they construct an "ugly" robot that must perform underwater tasks. Their journey is not only about building a robot but also about building a future, challenging societal perceptions, and fighting for a place in America.
