These are just some of the challenges Finch operators will have to face when running through the obstacle course.

Pictured below are just some of the projects that kept the Hummingbird kids busy for the past week...

The VEX box, opened. Most of the package contents have been placed on the table for display. Upon opening, students had to match the inventory with the list on the box lid to make sure no parts were missing.

After completing wheel assembly, these students are beginning to piece together the body of their robot.

With easy-to-read instructions and a parts organizer, assembly was a breeze.

We were very happy to introduce a new robotics kit this year, the VEX robot. In looks and design, the VEX robot is reminiscent of an advanced Erector set. It comes with motors, boards, and a plethora of connectors for different applications. As with the Hummingbird, the VEX comes in a kit where the physical and electronic structure is dependent solely on the constructor.

According to the website VEX.com:

"The VEX Robotics Design System offers students an exciting platform for learning about areas rich with career opportunities spanning science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). These are just a few of the many fields students can explore with VEX Robotics technology. Beyond science and engineering principles, a VEX Robotics project encourages teamwork, leadership and problem solving among groups."

STREAM is a stimulating one-week summer program available to students entering the sixth and seventh grade. The program is designed to let students see their full creative and artistic potential by working with robots designed by schools with the same idea in mind. STREAM stands for (S)cience, (T)echnology, (E)ngineering, (A)rt, and (M)ath.
