ROBOTS in READY


The ultimate goal of READY ( a twice weekly program) is to encourage students to have a lifelong positive attitude towards reading and to increase literacy skills.


This past week in READY and Middle School Clubs, our students had the opportunity to put their robotics skills to the test, as they built tin can robots! Students worked in groups of 3:1 with an adult volunteer to help assist with assembly and delegating tasks. Each of our future roboticists participated in the project from reading directions to installing nuts and bolts, connecting various wires, or even sticking on googly eyes. The staff and volunteers were in awe of not only how skilled our students were at building, but also how well they worked together!
You can only imagine the anticipation and pure joy radiating from each team as they installed the last bolt, and flipped the switch to make their bots come to life.
