CCEL GRANT
Community Connected Experiential Learning (CCEL) Grant
Community-Connected Experiential Learning (CCEL) builds on research that indicates that students are more engaged, more motivated to learn, and more successful when they can connect what they are learning to situations they care about in their community and in the world. Research has also found that experiential learning that takes place in the community contributes to the development of Global competencies by “giving opportunities for authentic learning, engaging students actively, fostering co-operation and collaboration, meeting individual interests, empowering learners and extending horizons beyond comfort zones”
The 6th TDSB CETA Robotics Exhibition Game
This year, the CETA Robotics competition was held in person at SATEC on Thursday, May 11. There were nine TDSB schools, with 24 teams consisting of a total of 76 students, competing in three different events. We express our gratitude to our judge, Dennis Cecic, who diligently judged every single round, which took an entire day to complete. With Dennis' support, every student spent time with their teachers at their home school, learning, building, and testing their robots weekly in preparation for the game day. All the robots were able to trace the line and compete in the race. Some were even successful in completing the IoT and/or collision detection challenge. We extend our appreciation to the volunteering students and teachers from SATEC who helped run this event smoothly. Additionally, we thank CCEL for providing funding to each school to cover the costs of robots, lessons, and supplies, making this event possible. Every successful student will receive a CETA Robotics T-shirt, and each school will be awarded a plaque for their achievements.

I would like to say a big thank you to all the schools, students and teachers who participated in this year’s CETA robotic challenge. It was a great success and everybody was having a great time. I would also like to congratulate the following schools and students that had successfully built the Robot and send them in for the game day. Without the help of students at SATEC this competition will not be running so smoothly. Big hands of applause to all.
