The St. Ignatius School Robotics Club is a robotics program for 6th - 8th grade students which is designed to get children excited about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and teach them valuable employment and life skills. Students will build and program an autonomous robot using LEGO® MINDSTORMS® technology. Throughout the year, students will explore problems that today’s scientists and engineers are trying to solve, develop an innovative solution to that problem, and share their findings with others. Throughout their work, teams are guided by the FLL (First LEGO® League) Core Values to build teamwork skills and make this a great experience for everyone involved.
We will also be creating posters, art work, etc. Artists are also welcome!
We express the FIRST philosophies of Gracious Professionalism and Coopertition through our Core Values:
Discovery: We explore new skills and ideas.
Innovation: We use creativity and persistence to solve problems.
Impact: We apply what we learn to improve our world.
Inclusion: We respect each other and embrace our differences.
Teamwork: We are stronger when we work together.
Fun: We enjoy and celebrate what we do!
