Leader in Me Measurable Results Assessment (MRA)
Thank you for those who have taken the time to complete this survey. We have nearly 100 parents who have done so, and we would welcome more of you to complete this. The results will help us improve our Leader in Me implementation for the future.

PLTW Robotics Spring 2022 Update
Pick and Place
Written by: Isabel Branderhorst and Emma Walkup
The purpose of the pick and place is to move things from one place to another. To start the pick and place we press the on button. This makes the gears spin and close the claw, then it moves to the other side after 3 seconds. When the claw senses the color blue on the other side the gears spin the opposite way and the claw opens and drops the block. This repeats until we hit the stop button.
Elevator
Written by: Mia Lorton
The purpose of the elevator is to move the cabin to the correct floor. Buttons are used to tell the elevator which floor it should travel to and sensors are used to tell the elevator when to stop. Pressing a button starts the elevator motor. The motor continues to run until the corresponding floor sensor sees that the elevator is there. Then, the motor stops. The cabin remains on that floor until another button is pressed.
