Grade 5

Invention Convention

Students follow the Engineering Design Process to identify a real world problem, and then design a model/prototype to solve this problem. All students present their inventions at the district wide Invention Convention. See the Invention Convention Tab for more information.


Robotics and Automation

Students explore the ways robots are used in today’s world and their impact on society and the environment. Students learn about a variety of robotic components as they build and test mobile robots that may be controlled remotely. Angelina, Mylo, and Suzi are tasked with designing a mobile robot that can remove hazardous materials from a disaster site. Students are then challenged to design, model, and test a mobile robot that solves this design problem.
