About the workshop:

Each teacher may bring up to four students to participate in the LEGO Challenge.  (Please list student names in the notes section upon registering).  Students will take a pre-task survey to self-assess skills in engineering, creativity, and problem-solving.  Student teams will create, design, and program a robot using the LEGO MindStorms EV3 kits to complete a specific task.  Teachers fill complete anecdotal observation forms to assess students while working on the task.  The event is funded through the 2016-2017 Gifted and Talented grant.  Per grant requirements, a minimum of 25% of the student participants on a team must be from an under-represented group.   This challenge is ideal for students in grades 4 through 10.  Three lucky teams will take an EV3 Mindstorm kit back to their schools with them!

Free to student/teacher teams from schools within the MVGT Network (see list below);  $50 per team for non-MVGT Schools.  Pricing for schools outside of network will be adjusted prior to event.

Snacks and lunch provided.

Four students may attend with every one teacher that registers.  Max of 75 people.
