Commander Stacy from Challenger Learning Center provides "expert" knowledge for Robot Project9/20/2018 Students had a great time listening and engaging with Commander Stacy Shrewsbury from the Challenger Learning Center in Normal, IL. We heard about many of the problems astronauts face while in space for extended periods of time. Students were able to see what the space suits are made of and even were able to try "space" ice cream.Core Values-Helium Stick ChallengeThis was an awesome team building exercise. I loved watching and listening how the students interacted together.

Practice two DONE! Practice is so busy and the kiddos are having so much fun. This practice I broke all the students up into the 2 teams for the season. We now have Team Ponti-Hackers and Team Scorpigons. While one team was working on team identity, getting to know each other, and discussing base robots the other team was reviewing the Robot Game and all the missions. After about 30 minutes the teams switched. In the upcoming weeks, teams will be working on logos, what their t-shirts will look like, designing posters, and other media for the season. Teams will need more time to discuss missions and strategies. We finished practice with the students working with the EV3 sets to build a basic robot and program it to move. Everyone didn't get finished, so I will make sure to give them another 30 mins. to get everything programmed and running. |
