Elementary Summer Program with the FIRST LEGO League Challenge
David & Mary Thomson Collegiate Institute, Scarborough, Ontario. July 8 to 24, 2024
From July 2 to 25, 2024, the Pink Titans hosted and ran coding and robotics workshops, as the STEM/robotics component of the elementary-level summer program at David & Mary Thomson Collegiate Institute in Scarborough. A total of 174 students in grades four to eight built and coded the LEGO SPIKE Prime robot, using the curriculum of FIRST Robotics Canada's FLL Challenge summer camp. The students programmed the robot to turn, move at various speeds, navigate through a maze. The students then completed a challenge to design, code, and run the robot to push as many cups out of the field perimeter in the least amount of time. Finally, the students designed and coded the robot to complete a few missions from the 2023-24 FLL-C season, titled MASTERPIECE. Thanks very much FIRST Robotics Canada and McCall MacBain for the opportunity to directly engage these students!
