Rules and Research


This week we worked on learning the rules of our robot challenge and started to explore the research project challenge. It was cool to see some of the creative ideas for solutions to medical problems that the students came up with. One student suggested swallowing a pill containing a little robot that finds the problem then does surgery from the inside. I have no doubt that such a device will be invented by this generation someday.

If the students get their homework and chores done, you can always review the rules and challenges with them. All the Challenge details can be found HERE.


Next week we will break into our 4 permanent competition teams. I appreciate the parent support thus far. After we break into teams, we may have enough parents such that we could "assign" a parent as a permanent assistant coach for each team. Let me know if you would be interested in taking on that role.

Thanks,

Coach Locke
