FIRST LEGO League introduces science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) to children ages 4-16* through fun, exciting hands-on learning. FIRST LEGO League participants gain real-world problem-solving experiences through a guided, global robotics program, helping today’s students and teachers build a better future together. In FIRST LEGO League, students engage in hands-on STEM experiences, building confidence, growing their knowledge and developing habits of learning. FIRST LEGO League’s three divisions inspire youth to experiment and grow their critical thinking, coding and design skills through hands-on STEM learning and robotics.

Combining the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology. We call FIRST Robotics Competition the ultimate Sport for the Mind. High-school student participants call it “the hardest fun you’ll ever have.”

Build a love for STEM in Robotics with Sylvan! In this fun course, your child will learn how to build and program robots – all while making friends, developing new skills and having a blast with STEM. Hands-on projects building and animating LEGO robots with mini-iPads. Creative exercises that develop critical thinking skills and encourage love for STEM.

Robot used: Edison Programming tool: Edblock App & Edmat Number of Attendees: 50 Ages: 6-13 years old Projects: Musical Project Robot Race Project Increasing the robot speed Exploring the infrared messaging between two robots Controlling the way the robot's lights flashing Multiple tasks, like go forward till an obstacle is found then stop peep flash and drive backward

We gathered students, who were guided through wonderful robotics lessons by Sulafa Talha, a parent at the school. We worked on a Musical project, programmed the robot to sing the musical notes of the birthday song. Some students went further, programming the robot to move while singing a song. We did a robot race, the faster you clap your hands the faster your robot will go by activating the sound sensor. We used block programming as an educational programming language to learn programming basics. For example, parameters and loops . We also used the Ed mat, which is a smart robotics mat with barcodes to activate the robot to do different tasks, like sumo wrestling and avoiding obstacles. Students also learned the robot's parts and what each button does. They also learned how to set up the robot for work, for example, connect the robot to a computer using the edcom cable and how to download the program to the robot using the record button. Students then got the chance to explore and program their robots, some of the projects they did: -the jingle bell song -increasing the robot speed -exploring the infrared messaging between two robots -controlling the way the robot's lights flashing -multiple tasks in a row, like go forward till an obstacle is found then stop peep flash and drive backward.

STEM Adventure Club to spark an interest in STEM will include coding with Ozobots and Spheros

The SkillsUSA Vermont chapter holds two conferences each year to celebrate and share our career-readiness and professional excellence at the annual Fall Leadership Conference and the annual Spring Leadership and Skills Conference! The Fall Conference invites all students to explore leadership and career readiness. The Spring Conference features contests in almost 70 different professional areas where Gold Medal winners can earn the opportunity to compete in the SkillsUSA National Conference held each summer.

RoboGames is the Olympics of Robots - we invite the best minds from around the world to compete in over 50 different events: combat robots, fire-fighters, LEGO bots, hockey bots, walking humanoids, soccer bots, sumo bots, and even androids that do kung-fu. Some robots are autonomous, some are remote controlled - but they're all cool! As an open event, anyone can compete - this means you. RoboGames 2023, the 15th annual all-events world championship, will be held in Pleasanton, CA on Apr 6-9, 2023, with over 20 countries competing! We're also streaming the event on Twitch.

The Botball® Educational Robotics Program engages middle and high school aged students in a team-oriented robotics competition, and serves as a perfect way to meet today’s new common core standards.
