We are excited to dive into our First Lego League Challenge: Submerged Season! Our students are eagerly engaging in activities that not only enhance their STEM skills but also foster critical thinking, teamwork, and creativity. Here's what we've been working on...
Robot Mission Builds:
Students are constructing robot missions for the Robot Game Table. Many of our younger students have commented on how cool these look when they walk into our room! These missions are designed to solve challenges related to underwater exploration, where students practice programming and engineering skills using LEGO SPIKE Prime Robots that they are building.
Robot Training Camp:
Students have been building foundational skills in robotics and coding. They are learning about the gear systems, motors, and sensors for the SPIKE Prime Robot. Students are using code to make their robot move, turn, lift and drop objects. Students are learning to use loops and conditionals that will allow robots to make decisions and repeat tasks as needed.
Exploring Ocean Layers:In our research, we are learning about the different layers of the ocean, from the sunlight zone, twilight zone, midnight zone, and even further into abyssal mysterious depths. We've created species in each layer to transform our classroom.
Innovation Project:Soon students will embark on the Innovation Project adventure where they will choose a problem to solve in the ocean's depths and create a solution with their teammates.
Ways you can help:- Encourage curiosity by asking your child about the Submerged season.
- Reinforce teamwork by discussing how they’re collaborating with their peers to solve problems.
- Stay engaged with the season by checking our updates and photos from our projects!
We’re proud of all the hard work and excitement our students are showing, and we can't wait to see where their imagination takes them during the Submerged Season. Click HERE to learn more.
