Beak Squad Robotics - LE 3
Grade Levels: |
3 2021-2022 was our Pilot Season during which 1/3 of the third graders participated in this after school robotics team. While the team continues to function as an Gr 3 extra-curricular, watch Campus Connections for special after-school workshops offered to other grade levels. |
Purpose: | Through a series of story-based missions, student teams develop problem-solving, growth mindset, and creativity skills and implement the Engineering Design Process while learning to code. Wonder League Robotics Competition (WLRC) uses Dash Robots to inspire an early love of coding, computer science, tangible learning, and STEAM education. With guidance from a volunteer parent facilitator, students collaborate with their “mini-team” of 3-4 students taking turns fulfilling responsibilities of programmer, designer, and documentor to successfully complete as many competition missions as possible. We hope to increase cross campus virtual collaboration with the Armleder Gr 3-6 WLRC team in 2022-2023. |
