ROBOTICS CLASS

The robotics class is a "relaxed" class meaning that you are not required to come each week. We will have two groups: Robotics for Ages 12 and up and Exploring Robotics for Grades K-age 11.

We will meet at Tammy N's house on  Sept 19, Sept 26, Oct 3, Oct 17, Oct 24, Oct 31 from 1-2:30pm. Please contact Melissa for location directions.

We will be meeting in her basement along with the robotics team. Please bring a pair of slippers as you will be asked to leave your shoes at the door.

We will be starting our first class tomorrow at 1pm. This first class will be VERY relaxed for the Exploring Your World Robotics group. We requested robotics kits (on-loan) though the State 4H office. They were to be in on the 15th. They still have not arrived. THEREFORE:

Exploring Your World: Robotics will engage in a robotics challenge. A photo of the project can be submitted to a Canadian homeschool group monthly robotics challenge. This months challenge ends on the 20th.  Mrs. Smith will explain the Lego challenge. Harrison Smith will also demonstrate the use of motors to make Legos move. Motors will be used in the We Do Robotics challenge. We will start out with an demonstration of the Lego robotics--the robots and the software.

Upper Level Robotics will work on a previous FLL challenge mat and continue assignments from the robotics programming book begun last year. There is plenty for you to do .
