Robotics club is underway for a great season! This year's theme is City Shaper. Students are building missions and programming in preparation for competition. Each Challenge has three parts: the Robot Game, the Innovation Project, and the Core Values. Our students will participate in the Challenge by programming an autonomous robot to score points on a themed playing field (Robot Game). We will be attending an official tournament, hosted by our FIRST LEGO League Partners in November. When students are engaged in hands-on STEM experiences (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), they build confidence, grow their knowledge and develop habits of learning. The program is built around theme-based Challenges to engage children ages 9 to 14 in research, problem solving, coding, and engineering.
