Our students are ready to explore new ideas! We have learned about robots and coding and are ready to bring those worlds together through a fun hands-on experience. After participating in our first LEGO explorations into the exciting world of FIRST Lego League, where we learned to build and code our robot, students are ready to take their learning to the next level. During our first year, we have been using Android tablets that have limited capabilities and often spotty Bluetooth connection which hinders our success.
This year we participated in the “Into Orbit” mission in FIRST LEGO League. FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a nonprofit organization that offers LEGO leagues for students ages 6-10. Students researched what it would be like to live and work in space and then collaboratively worked on building a robot and programming it to carry out missions. The team was able to work on two out of the thirteen possible missions due to our limited available devices. At the tournament, we were inspired by the teams that we saw and came back ready to launch our mission to the next level! These laptops will be used for three LEGO teams during our weekly classes to continue building interest and curiosity, for the growth of future LEGO league participation.
