Thanks to all those who attend last night's kickoff. I had a great time meeting many of you and look forward to meeting others.

Don't forget to fill out both sides of the Signup/Contract and have your student bring it to the next meeting.

  • Tuesday, September 2nd, 6:30am
  • Thursday, September 4th, 6:30am

See you Tuesday,
Coach Locke

Welcome to Season #2

Updated 26Aug2008
Thanks for visiting the BVMS Robotics Team Coach's Blog. I can't wait for this year's challenges!
My Promise
  • The students come first. This team is about the students having fun and getting excited about science and technology. Everything my team does starts and ends with that principle.
  • The students do the work. This is their opportunity to learn and grow. The students on my team do all of the programming, research, problem solving, and building. Adults can help them find the answers, but cannot give them the answers or make the decisions.
Important facts and events
  • This Web log is my primary means for communicating with parents.
  • More info about FIRST and FIRST LEGO League is found here.
  • Info meeting for parents and students on Wednesday, August 27th in the BVMS commons at 6:30 pm.
  • Meetings start September 2nd at 6:30 am in the Guided Discovery room at BVMS.
  • Regular meetings are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:30 am till 7:30 am and Saturdays at 9:30 am.
  • Most Saturday meetings will be at BVMS but some will be at the Blue Valley Rec Center east of Metcalf on 151st and they will last two hours.
  • The season ends this year on December 14 with our Kansas City Regional FLL competition at Liberty High School.
