5th Grade Lego Mindstorms Robotics Club

9/8/2023 10:13 pm

Is your child interested in robotics? Do they want to know more about coding?

Prospect’s LEGO Mindstorms Robotics Club is a club where 5th grade students will learn to design, build and program robots using Lego Mindstorms EV3 kits. Because students will work in small groups to complete projects created specifically for EV3, regular attendance at club sessions is expected. Through the design process, students will develop engineering and coding skills in building and programming robots.

*Please note that students will not be able to take the robots home as all parts will be reused from session to session.

At this time, the club is available to a maximum of 20 5th grade students and will meet on the following Wednesdays after school until 4:15 p.m.:

September 20, 27
October 4, 11, 18, 25
November 1, 8, 15

Please complete this Google Form (http://tinyurl.com/RoboticsClub23) to request registration for the robotics club prior to September 15. If more than 20 registrations are received, a random number generator will be used to determine participation.

You will be notified of your child’s participation in the club or waitlist status on September 17.

If you have any questions, please contact Meredith Bailey (mbailey@d181.org).

The Community Speaker Series promotes district wide learning about education, child development, wellness and parenting. It is open and free to all members of the K-12 learning community.

Through the series, D86 and D181 enlist top experts to inform and inspire our community as a means to enrich school-family partnership that supports the education of our students. We are looking for parents and community members to volunteer on our committee.

We are thrilled to be starting “One Author, One School!” in October! Students and families will have the opportunity to explore the a few of the works of best-selling author/illustrator Peter Brown. Thanks to our PTO, every Prospect student will receive a book by Peter Brown (that’s right, each student, not just each family)! The goal of this program is to generate excitement about reading and encourage the habit of family reading. We are excited to include the newest Wild Robot book, which is being released on September 26!

Please select the book(s) you and your child(ren) wish to receive by filling out THIS FORM by Sunday, September 10. Here are the book choices:

Picture book:
Will You Be My Friend: Today is the day the exuberant Lucy is going to make a new friend! But she finds it's harder than she had thought. Just when she's about to give up, an unexpected friend finds her, and loves her just the way she is. (Recommended for grades K-1)

Illustrated Novels:

The Wild Robot (#1)
When robot Roz opens her eyes for the first time, she discovers that she is all alone on a remote, wild island. She realizes that her only hope for survival is to adapt to her surroundings and learn from the island's unwelcoming animal inhabitants.

The Wild Robot Escapes (#2)
Can robot Roz survive the challenges of the civilized world and find her way home to Brightbill and the island?

The Wild Robot Protects (#3)
When mysterious, dangerous waters surround robot Roz’s island, the animals are forced inland to fight over dwindling resources. Roz calms and organizes the animals, but the poison tide takes a terrible toll on the island. So the wild robot sets out across the ocean, determined to stop the poison tide.
