Welcome to our Robotics & Coding Club at Kullerstrand Elementary! We are so proud of our students!
This year we continued to carry forward our theme of PROFESSIONALISM. Becoming a member of the robotics program is like getting a job at a company like Google. Students (grades 3-5) have to fill out an application, get a teacher reference and sit for a one-to-one interview. To remain in the club, students must maintain professional behavior, not just during club sessions, but throughout the week in the classroom as well. They must also stay up with classwork and demonstrate solid school attendance.
The robotics platform we use is VEX IQ. These are real robot components requiring thoughtful design. Students must work in teams to come up with robots capable of solving problems under pressure on a competitive playing field. This year we had several teams competing and even hosted one of the district tournaments at Kullerstrand. We are very proud of our team of girls - D.R.E.A.M. - who qualified to go to the district tournament (which was unfortunately cancelled due to the pandemic crisis).
