Meet Our Robots!

After sixteen weeks of work across two academic sessions, on Wednesday, April 10th St. Louis CyberSTEM students demonstrated their accomplishments to Mrs. Weiss, Mrs. Ewachiw, moderators and parents.

During our first session the kids used a software program called Microworlds to animate virtual characters while learning about movement, direction, coordinates and how to break down a goal into individual components.  The students concluded the session by creating their own games.

During the second session the kids applied the concepts from the first session to program LEGO robots, working diligently to assemble the hardware and learning to make the robots move, make sounds, and interact with the real world.

As part of the demonstration, the students were presented with medals and certificates of completion by Dr. Davina Pruitt-Mentle, Executive Director of ETPro (Educational Technology Policy, Research and Outreach), one of the CyberSTEM program sponsors.

We would like to thank the CyberSTEM moderators for their hard work and dedication in making the program such a positive and enjoyable learning experience for our students. We received overwhelming positive feedback from students and parents and look forward to more rewarding CyberSTEM sessions next year.
