2017 Robotics Summer Camp
Robotics Team & Summer Camp Info
Milford Schools, in conjunction with Project Lead The Way, offers two ways for students to participate in VEX Robotics EDR at Milford Junior High School and Milford High School.
2017-18 Robotics Teams |
Robotics Teams:
Eighth grade and high school students participate in an after school club known as "Robotics Teams" for VEX Robotics EDR. These teams meet once a week after school and also meet a couple of times a week outside of school. There are 4 to 6 competitions starting in January and going through April. 3 to 4 of the competitions are local. Teams that win local competitions can qualify for the State Competition in March (Columbus, OH) and Worlds Competition in April (Dallas, TX). There are other ways to qualify for State and Worlds. For the high school teams, the season begins in May (through the summer) and ends in April. For the 8th grade teams, the season is October through April. Each team has a parent/guardian volunteer that acts as a Team Mentor to guide the team in applying skills and techniques that students learn during classwork. In reality, the Team Mentors learn from the students from what they learn in class. The Team Mentors main role is to help the student teams learn time and task management as they design, build, program, and compete with their robots. 7th grade students can apply in January/February to be on the robotics select team. A mandatory parent info meeting for current 7th grade students interested in joining the 8th grade VEX Robotics teams next year will be announced before the application window opens. In April, twenty 7th grade students are selected to be part of the competitive robotics team for the following year as 8th grade students. Due to the programming and mechanical skills needed, both Gateway 8 (elective) first semester and second semester are required courses if a student is selected to be a member of the competitive robotics teams. Parents/Guardians must attend the pre-registration meeting TBD which will answer questions about the robotics teams. |
