We are so excited that the St. Anne Technology Department has adopted the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) LEGO Robotics Program. FIRST designs accessible, innovative programs that motivate young people to pursue education and career opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and math, while building self-confidence, knowledge, and life skills. Open for gifted and talented students ages 6-14, students can join the team and compete locally against some of the brightest minds in the Houston metro area.
For students in grades 6-8, the Technology department offers an EV3 Mindstorm LEGO Robotics elective. LEGO programs enhance all S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) concepts, while incorporating a hands-on approach. What a great time to introduce key foundational building blocks---brick by brick! LEGO Mindstorms has been specially formulated for students from 4th grade and up, allowing for new, exciting, age-appropriate concepts to be introduced at every step. Students learn problem solving, math concepts, science strategies, programming, teamwork and so much more in this active learning environment.
Let the journey of discovery begin!
