Objective: To provide Julian students with an opportunity to design, build and program a remote controlled robot from scratch.
Who: This club is open to all Julian Students. We expect to have about 30-35 student participants in the club, as well as four to five+ adult coaches.
Teams: We have the supplies to build nine robots this year and thus hope to have nine teams. Each team will consist of a max of four students and be led by a team captain.
Coaches: Tim Walsh—7th and 8th Grade Science Teacher
Emily Gora---8th Grade Science Teacher
Bob Parks--- Percy Julian Parent Volunteer, Professional Computer Programmer
Sergio Firpo---Percy Julian Parent Volunteer, Professional Engineer
We need more adult coaches! Please contact Tim Walsh at twalsh@op97.org to get involved.
Meetings: The dates of the meetings are all listed on the backside of this sheet. For the most part we will have a meeting after school every Thursday until the end of March. Students are asked to treat this commitment seriously and attend all meetings.
Events: We intend to focus our efforts on two major events this year:
- Road Trip: Vex Challenge in Milwauke Wisconsin, Sunday, December, 2nd
