About the Competition
http://www.wroboto.org/

Lego Mindstorms is a pilot program in the Middle School being both facilitated in the Invent and Engineer course and the Grade 6 Science class with Mr. Hoskins.

The goals of exploring the Lego Mindstorm Kits is to give students an opportunity to develop learning strategies, experiment, discover and innovate using the Lego Mindstorms kits.

The students will work in small groups and be given a variety of specific tasks to build their knowledge base of the Lego Mindstorms Programming language RCX, and then incorporate this in group generated challenges and projects.
