New members are working on building and programming Tankbot. Those with more experience are moving ahead with strategy for our missions, design of a robot for the competition, and the Project. Beginning in November, our after school 3-4 PM schedule changes to 3-4:30. (We will still meet Mondays and Wednesdays.) Robotics ends with the annual competition, which this year will again be at NAIT, on January 24, 2009.
Alberta FIRST LEGO League Championship Tournament
Thanks to Russel Krause of ArchTech Solutions and to Alan Wesley at the Grant MacEwan School of Business for arranging the transfer of 9 Lego Robotics Kits to St. Mark. The kits have found a good home with our kids!
The First Lego League Regional Tournament being held at NAIT on January 24th, 2009 is looking for volunteers! Volunteers are asked to attend an orientation session on Friday evening (January 23rd ) and the actual event day, on Saturday (January 24th). Volunteer positions and volunteer shifts vary with the majority scheduled as a 2-hour shift throughout the tournament day (7:00 4:30). Volunteers will be able to select their preferred task and shift and selections will be accommodated as much as possible. Snacks and lunch is provided for volunteers as well as a tournament t-shirt. In addition, all volunteers will receive a letter of participation. This is an awesome, action packed day and volunteering is a great way to really experience the whole event! Your assistance is GREATLY appreciated. Please contact me as soon as possible, if you are willing to volunteer. If you know of any other individuals interested in supporting this amazing event, please forward this information. Thank you, in advance, for your support! Carol Durnford (B.Ed., M.Ed.)
