Robotics, Legos, Engineering

Mrs. DeHaro's sixth grade iScholars class recently broke out the Lego Mars Rover kit that the RUSD Instructional Services department gave to Emerson a couple of years ago.  The acceleration and differentiation of the iScholars class has provided some opportunities to take out the Rover and consider the opportunities that science and engineering projects offer for students. 
 
Kids love Legos.  Emerson hopes to initiate a First Lego League Team for the next school year.  We will have space available for the equipment and we are starting to make plans (along with Hyatt Elementary) for a competitive Lego club using the Legos Mindstorms.  If you are interested in helping us get this club going, please let us know!
