Instructors: Riley Buchheit & Gabby Ashton Lego Robotics is about inspiring youth through a hands-on STEM learning experience. Students will discover, explore and be challenged to understand the basics of STEM and to apply their skills in a final competition while building habits of learning, how to overcome failure, confidence, and teamwork skills along the way. The Lego Robotics program runs September 29th through December 9th. Students will become familiar with the robots and the programming environment by following the curriculum IBM has provided. In mid-October IBM will introduce the long term project. The students will work on the long term project from mid-October through to the final competition on December 9th. The final competition will be held at the RCTC Field House in Rochester. This year students have the option to sign up for Beginner, Standard, or Advanced programs. Beginner is designed for students who are in grades 4 or 5 or are very new to the program. Students who sign up for Beginner Maroon will attend practices on Tuesdays; students who sign-up for Beginner Gold will attend practices on Wednesdays. With the help of Schmitty & Sons Bus Company we are able to offer the option of bussing from BCI to the MS for our Wednesday IBM Lego Robotics students this year. If your child will need transportation from BCI to the MS for practice, please register for the Gold group. Standard is aimed towards students in grades 6-8 who are looking for a challenge. Advanced offers the most complex challenges and is designed for students in grades 9-12. Please reach out to Community Ed if you have any questions about which program option will be best for your child.
