Kendrick Castillo’s father, John, at the STEM School Highlands Ranch robotics lab. Kendrick was killed at the school in a shooting earlier this year. Students there huddled Monday, Sept. 10, 2019, before beginning work on updates to Kendrick’s robot, which they are entering in a competition.

Until he died in a shooting at STEM Highlands Ranch last spring, Kendrick Castillo was an avid member of its robotics team. Last week, his father paid the group a visit.
