Menaul School Robotics Club
Participates in the 2012 Lego “Senior Solutions” Challenge
Can the
Menaul Middle School Panther Robotics Team improve the quality
of life for seniors by helping them continue to be independent,
engaged, and connected in their communities? In the 2012 Lego “Senior
Solutions” Challenge, our robotics club, along with 200,000 middle
and high school students from over 60 countries will explore the
topic of aging and how robotics can be used to help people maintain
an active lifestyle. The students will work with advanced programming
software and customizable hardware to create small, customizable and
programmable robots. Student robotic creations will focus on issues
like getting around, communication and staying fit. Teams will first
research obstacles and then suggest ways to improve the quality of
life for people over the age of 65. Teams will also build, test, and
program a fully autonomous robot using Lego Mindstorm robots to solve
a set of missions on an obstacle course.
Students meet Thursdays after school in Mrs. Rogge's classroom.
