kickoff

[Julie Morris]

Hello,

I am a science teacher interested in starting a robotics program at my school. I teach 8^th graders. I know nothing about robotics and would like to learn more about the costs and logistics involved. I am wondering if it’s worth it to attend the kickoff on September 4^th? Thank you in advance.

 

Sincerely,

Julie Morris

Julie, Did you go to the houston vex website?  They can get you started on teams.  They should be able to find you a mentor who will help you with programming.  VEX is a good robotics program to do with students.  It is easy to understand and build.    My role in the Austin VEX world is Mom and I can sit down with a group of students and get them working on a simple drive train. 

 

Houston has good resources, so please check out that website and and go to the contact page and start a conversation.

 

Good Luck!
