National School Bus Safety Week October 17-21, 2022 Keeping our most precious cargo safe!

The final project for students in robotics is not a test, but a presentation about their final build. Students demonstrate what their robot can do and answer questions. Students also discuss the engineering design process of think, do, test and how they use the 4 C's. The 4 C's are critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity. Both the engineering design process and the 4 C's help students be successful in robotics and in life.
