Burton LEGO Teams Showcase Work
Burton LEGO Teams Showcase Work
On Thursday, December 15, Burton LEGO Teams held a showcase for family and friends to see what they had made this year. The eight teams, comprised of 50 students in grades 1-3, worked on building and programming LEGO robots through the Michigan First Robotics program. The teams worked in groups of six, meeting weekly, to explore and learn concepts of physics and engineering while designing and programming their robot to move. The groups met for 10 weeks and were led by parent volunteers. In addition, Berkley High School robotics team members, DaBears, stopped by LEGO learning sessions to share their knowledge with the younger students. At the showcase, teams also made video presentations to share about their projects.
Principal Beth Krehbiel said, “A big thank you to the parent volunteers who met weekly with their teams to create the robots and learn about engineering and physics.”
The Burton LEGO clubs are a part of, and fully funded by, the Berkley Education Foundation Enrichment Program. The Berkley Education Foundation funds enrichment courses free of charge to bring unique experiences to students and to enhance their learning. To learn more about the BEF, visit their website.
