5th Grade Lego Mindstorms Robotics Club

9/14/2025 4:25 am

Is your child interested in robotics? Do they want to know more about coding? Prospect's Lego Mindstorms Robotics Club is a club for 5th-grade students to learn to design, build and program robots using Lego Mindstorms EV3 kits. Because students will work in small groups to complete projects created specifically for EV3, regular attendance at club sessions is important.

*Please note that students will not be able to take the robots home, as all parts will be reused from session to session.

At this time, the club is available to a maximum of 15 5th-grade students and will meet on the following Wednesdays after school until 4:20 p.m.:

September 17 & 24
October 1, 8, 15, 22 & 29
November 5, 12 & 19

Please note, if needed, December 3 will be used as a make-up day.

Please complete the Google Form (https://forms.gle/b3NKpndpGcVvTnDr6 ) to request registration for the robotics club prior to Monday, September 15. If more than 15 registrations are received, a random number generator will be used to determine participation. You will be notified of your child's participation in the club or waitlist status on September 15.

If you have any questions, please contact Meredith Bailey (mbailey@d181.org).
