Our goal is to raise funds for each student on our 2 teams middle school and elementary to have a Lego Spike Prime kit. We are limited with engaging every student because we only have 1 kit and 20 students. Every student on the team should receive hands-on training with building, programming, and completing tasks however that's impossible with having only one Lego Spike Prime Kit. The Lego First curriculum is developed using a relevant and real world project based learning approach. Students gain knowledge and skills by working towards goals through the investigation of solutions and engagement in a complex question or problem to solve. The content meets (S.T.E.M.) Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics learning objectives. During competition students have to present a research project conducted at their school to a panel of judges. This is another good reason why we need more robots for more hands-on learning for each student. During their presentations to the judges, the students will be asked a series of questions by the judges in regards to the building, programming, and team work involved with the Lego robot. Any student on the team at random will be selected to answer the questions. More students can take home the robot kits and be used during a virtual lesson if schools close due to COVID-19 or the weather.
