Additional Details

The goal of this grant is to provide the students more hands on learning using the robotics V5 cortex. The students will learn how to build and code using the VEX parts and V5 cortex. One of the objectives is to have students be able to code a robot and have it move and perform tasks. The students will be able to accomplish these tasks by completing a series of building challenges. The V5 cortex units will allow the students more practice and collaboration while coding. Having the extra cortexes will allow students to work in smaller groups and allowed deeper understanding and allow more practice and allow the betterment of their engineering mindset.
The ultimate goal is for students to build, design, code, test and run a car on a pre-determined itinerary. My classes will race their cars and compete in the district robotics competition. I will choose a team of 4 students to represent us that the CCPS District competition. The students will raced against all the other CPPS middle school teams. Gulfview has won 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in this competition. Having the extra resources helps tremendously!
