Students learn engineering and leadership and computer programming while having fun with robots. They

need to build a model of a city. The skills involved require collaboration. Each member is given a

leadership role for a particular section of the city. Likewise, they all engineer different parts of the

robot. Parts can be removed and replaced so many different attachments need to be created. The students

need to complete LEGO First League-Like missions to score points. They go out and perform specific tasks

within the wall of their city. They plan and create the tasks within the city they designed. The

students can decide how many points this particular mission is worth. One student can design a

particular mission and will serve as the leader for the rest of the group for this particular facet of

the project. When other teams come to visit this city the mission leader will explain the parameters of

the task and explain how points will be awarded. Each group will make a final presentation explaining

how their city was designed and how project missions were devised. Project leaders will choose how to

share their information. The students learn how to design, plan and build their cities. They learn about

the thought processes needed to design the most functional infrastructure. They are required to make

room in their plans for at least one bridge, some body of water, and all the most important government

edifices to complete the best city they can design.Trevon Moehrig Branch students use robots to learn

the basics of C and C+ programming. It may not always be fun to learn to code until you play with a

robot. The ROBOTC language uses processing and commands that are almost identical to the “C
