All Lego Robotics programmers should watch the "Stamps Learning" youtubes. These videos are excellent for teaching mission strategies. Thank you Yehuda. Lego League Agenda - first meeting on Wednesday, September 9th, 2015 in the Theater - We will be meeting Wednesdays and Thursdays immediately after school until 5:00 buses . We will clean up our projects at 4:50pm in both room 216 and the computer labs which will give us enough time to go to our lockers and make your buses.
- Robotics club has an open door policy – there is no examination to join. If you have a conflict on one of the days but you can come the other day – just let us know so we can accommodate your needs.

- First Lego League website introduction
- Form groups of 5 for research and 5 for robot challenge
- 8 Builder captains from previous years will prepare the 2 boards and the challenges on Wednesday September 9th and Thursday September 10th.
- This is a coordinated effort – some of us will program, some will research and some will build but the sum of the combination will equal a winning team. We practice gracious professionalism in Lego League which means we help each other out, teach each other, and share our knowledge, skills and appreciation.
- If you have your own robot consider bringing it into school to use with your team as Lego Robotics has limited loaners.
- Any questions: email Coach at [email protected].
Thank you for your interest, Jeanne Weinmann and Mort Levine First Lego League CMS Coaches |
