Annette Franck, Nederland. The Pirates! FIRST Robotics Team 1584 offered a computer programming workshop last weekend. Participants were in 4th through 11th grade and spent time at the Nederland Community Library learning how to write code and make their machines work as they intended.
The floor became a large maze and the robots task was to find the cheese at the center of the maze. A comment about what they learned was, “hardware sometimes doesn’t work right.” And, “robots’ take everything super literally.”
The robotics team offers Fall workshops to promote STEM and prepare for their yearly challenge which will be announced January 5th, 2019. If you would like to help or participate, please contact the team at Nedrobotics.org.
