Virtual Academy Meetings
April 27th - May 1
Exciting opportunity for free CODING CAMP brought to you by First Robotics of Michigan! Grades 2 - 12
ONLINE ROBOTICS CODING CAMP
This one is for anyone, whether you are an official team member or not. If you are interested in learning more about programming, then this is for you!
Amanda Gibbons with Breitung Township Schools created a great FREE, ONLINE robotics camp for students in grade 2 through high school. It utilizes Amazon Future Engineers and CODERZ for content.Elementary students will get a chance to work on virtual LEGO EV3 Robots, middle school and high school students will be able to build basic robotics skills or learn advanced skills. This is self-paced, free, and open to all residents of Michigan. This is a great opportunity for our student body to learn more about robotics so they can participate in future activities.
Amanda just added 800 more seats to accommodate the intense interest from the FIRST Community. Some of our coaches/ mentors are using this to teach their virtual school classes. Coaches and students should follow this LINK.
• Novice students: start with the Coderz adventure pack and move on to Cyber Robotics 101.
• Intermediate students: start with Cyber Robotics 101.
• Experienced students: start with the Cyber Robotics 201 course. Students can go back, if needed, to review concepts in 101.
• Python Gym, through CODERZ, is also available for advanced middle school and high school students.

All students should come to the Zoom "workshop" with a charged laptop, notebook, and pen or pencil and ready to take notes.
Zoom "workshops" will start on time but may be released early at the teacher's discretion. Attendance will be taken. Students should plan to stay at the meeting for the scheduled two hours or until dismissed--whichever occurs first.
Math Meetings
Wednesday is Math Meeting day! I will post the topic of the day, teach and practice the topic. Participants will be sent a practice activity WITH answer key. These meetings are encouraged, but optional. You are not limited to your class topic, but you should stay within 1 level... i.e. an 8th grader could choose to attend the 9 am, 10 am or 11 am lessons.
