3rd & 4th Grade STEAM - Battle Bots!
The third and fourth graders are having a blast starting their Battle Bot Competition in STEAM class. Students had to go through the entire design process in creating a Battle Bot that has protection for their balloon, and a popper to pop the balloons of their opponents. They had to drive their bot around on a Sphero, which is a coding robot. Mrs. Walker's class had their first battle yesterday, May 11th. In Mrs. Walker's class, the first-place bot was The Big Ender! I can't wait to see the rest of the battles!
