The PURGG project has joined the AWS DeepRacer Community!
We are the only team in the Baltimore area and are actively embarking on our machine learning journey, using the AWS platform. The PURGG project team is programming our 2 racers every week to virtually compete against teams from around the world.
Soon we will host our own virtual racing events for groups of young engineers in the area.
As always, the goal for all of our PURGG activities is to provide context and opportunities for Tech Students and Tech Professionals to stick around long enough to help the next generation of racers and programmers.
Our P.U.R.G.G. UNDERGROUND Track is coming soon!
​
Join our AWS Deep Racer League Team and help us race other teams for prizes & swag!

THE P.U.R.G.G. PROJECT: WHERE THE INNOVATION PIPELINE COMES ALIVE
​
The Pop-Up Robotic Gaming Grounds Project is FullBlast STEAM's flagship volunteer-based R&D initiative. It is where our Innovation Pipeline stages of Research, Prototype, and Pilot Program converge in a real-world community setting.
​
INNOVATION PIPELINE STAGE: Research → Prototype → Pilot Program
​
The PURGG Project recruits students, hobbyists, professionals, and tinkerers to help design, build, and test open-source, physical-digital hybrid interactive experiences. Every session generates real data about engagement, learning outcomes, and prototype performance — data that informs FullBlast STEAM's next wave of product development.
​
The PURGG Project is the engine behind RC Speedboat Games and Robot Obby, two emerging consumer brands in the FullBlast STEAM ecosystem. Participants in the PURGG Project are contributing directly to the future of educational entertainment.
