FIRST Lego League Robotics Team – Ms. Yip
First Lego League is an international competition where teams program a robot (using the LEGO® MINDSTORMS®) to score points on a thematic playing surface, create innovative solutions to a problem, all while being guided by the FLL Core Values. These three elements - the Robot Game, Project, and FLL Core Values - make up the yearly Challenge that focuses on a different real-world problem related to the sciences. The FLL team will participate in one or more tournaments. UMS Robotics will run in person and on Google Meets on some Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays every week from the beginning of the school year until the competition in November which should be in person. If you are interested in applying, please join the Google Classroom: here. For more information, please check the website at: http://montyumsrobotics.weebly.com
Science.inc is a student-led club which focuses on learning science together in a non-competitive environment. Open to all UMS students interested in learning more about and applying science, this club is the perfect place to make new friends while delving deeper into various aspects of science! In Science.inc, participants will be able to form groups to work on science projects, participate in fun science building challenges and labs, and to prepare for the annual Science.inc EXPO (a fun group science competition in Spring). Science.inc also allows students interested in writing to write articles for the Science Nerds’ Digest! Science.inc meets every Tuesday in E107 (Mrs. Ferrante’s classroom). We will have an informational meeting in September, the date to be announced. For further information, visit the Science.inc website or email anshu.cherukumilli@mtsdstudent.us with any questions. We hope to see you soon!
