I truly enjoy our after school Lego Robotics Club! The collaboration, across-age friendships, the critical thinking, and hands-on practice in computer science and engineering...it's so impressive and I wish it could be done during the school day. However, due to the amount of time to build and our Innovation schedule, it works best as an after school club. Historically, I have had more girls involved and it made me so sad we just had a handful this Spring. My plan was to market it and showcase to future students (girls and boys) but we were cut short due to COVID19. So these are the few highlights of my rad little innovators who quickly surpassed my computer science/robotics knowledge and impressed me beyond words!
What do you do when your local Girl Scouts troop reaches out for help in earning their 3 Robotics Badges!? You can NOT say no to Girl Scouts (I mean....come on) so you whip up a super fun 2 Day after school class!
These Innovative girls learned about robot parts, how robots can help us solve problems then launched them into a quick rapid prototyping DesignThinking Challenge in our Makerspace! Next, they collaborated with a Thanksgiving Dinner Challenge to teach Dash to be a very good robot and eat his dinner :) Click on the links below to modify for your own Girl Scouts and/or students!
