Let the training begin!

We had our first programming session! We learned the basic programming and building features of the NXT.

Team Work & Gracious Professionalism

Team Work & Gracious Professionalism

Here are some conclusions we made from the Rube Goldberg challenge which we will apply to our team work this season:

Everyone's contribution is unique and important to completing a task.
We can only reach our goal by pooling our resources.
Any part that is missing could cause the mission to fail.
Imagination is critical in problem-solving.
We'll each play a part in setting up the field and running it.
How we accomplish the goal (treat each other) is just as important as accomplishing the goal.

Great job on your building your team work skills team!!!

The Rube Goldberg Success

We had our first team party!! Our challenge was to move a Lego man from 10 feet away! We all brought boxes, wood blocks, Hot Wheels tracks, tubes, and a Lego man :). The team used a series of domino wood blocks and boxes triggered by a match box car to knock over the Lego man. Our team party was a fun and interesting way to kick of the season!

p.s. We surely missed team member #7.
