Weekend Highlight - Robotics Competition

This past Saturday, I had the pleasure of being a spectator of a robotics compeitition for TDSB elementary schools with my York ICT class. It was a great learning experience! We watched times competitions between student groups of their robots. They had to complete a certain number of "missions" within in 2.5 minutes. Then, groups were also judged based on design, collaboration and a seperate project based on natural disasters. These students excluded 21st century learning skills, collaboration, communication, critical thinking and creativity were all present. Their passion was inspiring and I personally hope to learn more about the First Lego League because I think this is a great oppurtunity for students to find their passion, problem solve an authentic task.
