Dealing with Stress and Multiple Activities
"For tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today." African Proverb
New Robotics After-School Program
This program revolves around erosion and erosion control, and how this affects us locally in our valley and mountain road systems. In teams to simulate erosion control techniques, students will design and build their robot to either scoop small rocks or pick up and plant fake grass stems. Students will learn about electrical components and how to solder them on to a breadboard (AKA circuit board). They will learn how to program and troubleshoot their robot as well.
Identified gifted students at CMS will also be involved in this program during their "Gifted Studies" class period. They will compete against the CHS students in a timed event in May. More specific information about this date will be forthcoming.
