Seventh grade students from Mrs. Wetmore’s technology class have been learning about robotics through the use of Lego MindStorm NXT sets.
The students experienced the design process by designing, building, programming, testing and optimizing their robot inventions, where each invention solved a specific problem. On Thursday, May 7, the students showcased their robotic inventions in an open forum. Attendees had an opportunity to view the robot inventions as students demonstrated their functionality and view poster presentations of their invention and the project life cycle process. The robotic unit and invention fair event were made possible by the support of the staff, administration, parents and students which allowed Berlin Middle School to leap ahead with pre-engineering learning using math, science and technology skills.
