Thanks to your generous donation of robotics kits, expansion packs, curriculum materials, and a competition mat, our students are getting the opportunity to enrich their educational experience. They are super excited for the opportunity to learn more about engineering and robotics.\r\n\r\nWe've just had our first FLEX session where we invited to our students to start exploring engineering and coding we had them learn how to make slider cranks and four bar linkages. Next month we will begin exploring how to increase torque or speed using simple and compound gear ratios\r\n\r\nMany students had never seen legos used this way before and immediately jumped into experimenting and programming. I think it was empowering for them to build something that they were able to later bring to life through simple programs. It's a great start and helped to demystify programming.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for helping make this possible!","fullyFundedDate":1749144745086,"projectUrl":"project/rewarding-robotics-broadening-participa/9218366/","projectTitle":"Rewarding Robotics: Broadening Participation and Celebrating Excellence","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Relator","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1829461_orig.png?crop=993,994,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1620269337780","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1829461"},{"teacherId":9519776,"projectId":9109367,"letterContent":"Thank you all so much for your generosity in funding these awesome whiteboards.
