LEGO Outreach Program

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.
