Well after a long time we have finally accomplished our goal. Because of Covid-19 students last year were not able to engage with the materials for the LEGO League. Now that we have returned students have learned about coding through LEGO League. They built robots, programmed them to complete missions and then participated in a competition against other teams. Students have had a great learning experience in this program. We have brought this program to our school community and we will continue to work with students to continue exposing them to computer science. The competition may have ended for us but the learning will continue.
Well since I have looking for ways to integrate more technology and STEM programs into our school I thought the best way to start is to get more people involved. So we discussed about the different programs that can be brought in to begin and the Lego League being one of them. Students love Legos and what a great way to bring in the engineering and technoloy part of STEM. Through our discussion, we decided that this is where the funds or at least majority of the funds will be used. The money will go to purchasing about three of the spike prime robots and three expansion kits. We also talked about purchasing materials to build a table designed especially for the mat. Because Lego League requires students to do an innovation project students will be able to create a presentation and talk about how the community can get involved. Students can also talk to our school's administration, staff, parents and their peers through a virtual meeting to let them know the impact that they felt going through the process as well as what they learned.
