The St. Joan of Arc Catholic School Robotics Program offers students the opportunity to get hands-on experience programming robots to solve problems. Students will use LEGO MINDStorm robots and a computer program that allows visual programming of the robots. Students can learn how to program the robots to accomplish tasks of varying complexity.
Students in grades 5–8 can participate in the fall Robotics session and will attend the FIRST LEGO League regional competition in December. Teams must solve a problem that requires research, creative thinking, teamwork, and robot programming skills. Teams typically meet once a week September–December.
Students in grades 4–7 can participate in the spring introductory Robotics session. During this session, students will learn the basics of programming a robot and the other factors that go into the competitive Robotics season.
