THE PLAN
The female students of the 2016-17 Stauffer Middle School robotics team will design lesson plans for two month long intense robotics training for 4th and 5th grade girls and boys.
The goal is to influence and teach them to understand and enjoy the values of STEM and more specifically expanding their knowledge of robotics.
Each team member will mentor and teach two students using the VEX IQ kits to create Claw-bots. Students will be taught to build, code, and drive. Students will also receive their own engineering notebook to journal their progress for each session.
