A A Milne Robotic Club

Robotics01 from A A Milne Elementary on Vimeo.

Our Milne Robotic Club started at the beginning of this year. During weekly sessions the students have been exploring introductory Robotics and programming through the use of simple LEGO kits known as WeDo.
They have acquired the knowledge of machines; motors, gears, levers, pulleys and are now familiar with more complex motion. At this time our students are able to put these parts together and build a model (Robot) connected to a computer.
These designs are guided and animated by a program, the Students have been encouraged to create their own stories based on their Robot models and share it with the club members.
Milne Robotics club has encouraged students to learn about technology, critical thinking, and the science of motion, math and the ability to integrate language into their creations.
Our robotic program is an exciting learning activity and the club members are eager to move on to the next level.
