29th Place at the Third Annual FLL Competition

Our club had a great learning experience at the New Mexico First Lego League Competition. In our first year, we were 29th out of 43 teams from all over the state. Next year we hope to be even better! Here is the team during the second robot round.

Lego Club Chapel Presentation a Great Hit

We had a fun and productive morning presenting our work to our guests and Menaul school community at chapel. Here is the final Film and Skit presented by Club Members on Wednesday.

The club is still learning how to produce and edit videos, so we weren't able to make credits so here it is anyway:

Today the students got together to finalize our chapel presentation, which we will post here after it's finished. We also talked about why respecting and taking care of  parents and grandparents is such an important value we share. Our chapel is next Wednesday and all parents and grandparents are invited! We would like to include pictures of Lego club members and their grandparents in our chapel presentation. If you have any pictures that we could include please send it to arogge@menaulschool.com, or have your child bring it to school ASAP.

Here is a preview of the video we will show in Chapel. The Club has been working very hard on it and it is going to be awesome.
