We do not have extra pieces for these kits at this time missing pieces could prevent some projects from completion.

If any LEGO pieces accidently make it home, please return them the following day.

Licenses will be checked every day for every child for your child’s safety. Without exception, no child will be allowed to leave with any adult (even mom or dad) unless a driver’s license matching a name on the child’s pick up form is shown.to observe their children’s robotics demonstrations. Families are invited in on Friday at 11:00 a.m. Unless your child is participating in an afternoon SEP course, families should arrive to pick up between 11:55 a.m. Students may arrive between 8:45 and 9 a.m.Families and students will also receive summative assessment of the student’s daily progress on course objectives, teamwork, and robot design. Families and students will receive pre- and post-assessments on the student’s understandings of robots and the concept of systems. On Friday, families are invited in at 11:00 a.m. It is my expectation that students will act with gracious professionalism. We will also work on teamwork with particular foci on politeness, fair sharing, “I messages,” and constructive feedback. Students will generally work in pairs and will have the experience of working with several other students, as we will switch pairs several times. The macro-concept of systems and the Frayer model of vocabulary development will be integrated into the course to deepen students’ understandings of robotics’ use in science and engineering. After reflecting on what did and did not work students can consult with peers, adapt programming, and adjust their designs. Students will test their designs and programming.

Students will learn to incorporate tilt and motion sensors into their designs. When I saw that LEGO had introduced a new robotics kit, the WeDo, I knew I would have to design a new SEP course! In this course, students will problem solve to design, engineer, and program robots using LEGO bricks, a computer, a motor, and other special elements. I have also served as a mentor to new coaches and as an FLL competition judge at both the local and state levels.

full-time at the College of William and Mary and to work at the CFGE, I served as a FIRST LEGO League (FLL) coach for five years at the elementary school where I taught fourth and fifth grade in southwest Virginia. Dear students and families, I am very excited to be teaching this new robotics course! Before leaving the classroom to pursue my Ph.D.LEGO WeDo: The science and engineering of roboticsThe Center for Gifted Education’s (CFGE) Summer Enrichment Program (SEP) 2009Teacher: Steve Coxon Assistant: Mr. Materials and format of 15 hour summer session (5, 3-hour days).This session will both review how WeDo was utilized in a 15-hour summer program for kindergarten through third graders and provide an interactive demonstration of the drag-and-drop block programming language.
