Funded Feb 14, 2024Thank you so very much for supporting our robotics program at Marian Anderson School! Because of your generous support, we hosted four club sessions this spring: two with students in grades 1-2 and two with students in grade 3. Additionally, students in grades 4-5 from our fall club served as mentors. Overall, 52 students participated in one of the programs this spring.
Each pair of students had access to a kit during the after school programming, resulting in lots of opportunities for hands-on learning. Students were elated about being able to build creative projects with the LEGO robotics kits. LEGO provides project ideas and tutorials on their website. So, students were able to select projects that interested them. They also had the freedom and support to build things from their own imaginations.
Additionally, students from Penn Engineering and parent volunteers supported our after school clubs as mentors. Overall, the after school programming was an enriching experience for students. We look forward to offering robotics clubs next fall!”
With gratitude,
Mr. Smith
