This Friday, the 4th grade Explorations students will be hosting NuMinds for an in house field trip.  During our two hour class, students will participate in the following sessions:

o A demonstration of a variety of robots, which could include motion-control special effects camera systems used in Hollywood, and the latest, upgraded version of NuMi, our exclusive AI robot.

o Work in teams or on their own to build their own monster robots, using a variety of materials, technology, and creative embellishments.

o Animate and program their monster robots using block coding techniques, micro-controllers, servos, processors, and flashy lights.

The visit will be flexible and tailored to appeal to the individual interests and passions of each student. For example, pre-built robots will be made available for students who prefer to focus on coding. Or, students who are more interested in the design aspect of the project will have the opportunity to focus on that.  

We will not be able to accommodate parent visitors with the space we have and all the moving parts, but I will be sure to take plenty of pictures to post on our class instagram account, uptagmyers.
