Yesterday members from Chairman’s team met in the printing
lab to work on producing the shirts for our STEMbots outreach program. Today
they opened up the Lego kits to test them out and get a feel for the sets they
would be helping the kids create. Tomorrow elementary and middle school
children will be coming for the outreach program. The plan is for them to use
the Lego Education WeDo STEM Classroom packs to experience a series of
cross-curricular theme-based activities while developing their skills in
science, technology, engineering, mathematics, language, literacy, and social
studies. Through the piloting of our Lego outreach activities we hope to be
able to create a summer program to further teach children about Robotics. Members
of Chairman’s are also creating poster designs for the Midwest Regional. While
Chairman’s has been hard at work editing their Chairman’s award video, Programming,
Mechanical, Controls, and Design team have been working together on building
and maintaining the robot. They have been persisting recently with redesigning mechanisms
for the robot as they have experienced problems with some of their previous
designs.
